ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday night has termed the final power show of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) ‘pathetic’, reiterating that he will never give an NRO.
Taking to Twitter, the Prime Minister said, “Pathetic. PDM spent so much money, time, effort, and displayed utter callousness by endangering people’s lives during COVID-19 spike.”
Let me once again reiterate: I will never give an NRO. Whatever future plans of further blackmail PDM may have, my message is categorical: There will never be an NRO from my govt no matter what tactics the looters devise.
