PPP, PML N afraid of defeat in Senate elections
ISLAMABAD, Multan: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement should rethink its actions for the sake of the country. The movement leaders have been maligning the Pakistan Army and this narrative can be misused by India and other external threats, he remarked while speaking in an interview on Monday.
“I agree that they have a right to protest but if they spread political instability then it will benefit India and the forces who seek to put pressure on Pakistan,” he added. “Think of your actions just for Pakistan’s sake and nothing else.” Foreign forces are working against Pakistan to spread chaos in the country. Qureshi said that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League N (PML-N) are afraid of defeat in Senate polls. Foreign Minister remarked that both parties, PPP and PML N, always did “Briefcase politics”.
Why both political parties are worried on open ballot, he questioned and stated that opposition was noticing confirmed defeat in upcoming Senate elections.
The foreign minister said that Pakistan is facing a terrorism threat and the country’s safety has been keeping the Pakistan Army busy. The EU Disinfo showed the different ways India has been targeting Pakistan. India has been attacking our soldiers and civilians along the Line of Control. We didn’t escalate the violence but defended our posts, Qureshi added. Pakistan’s role in the fight against terrorism has been acknowledged globally.
Meanwhile while addressing to public meeting in his constituency, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that PDM is pursuing a policy of chaos and anarchy in the country at the behest of foreign powers. PDM is protecting whose interest by targeting national institutions? PDM and opposition parties should show responsibility while making statements. Why PPP and PML-N are afraid of open ballot in Senate elections. Both parties have made their defeat clear. Because both parties have always done politics on the basis of briefcases. Those who use the slogan “Respect the Vote” must maintain the sanctity of the vote in the Senate elections as well.
FM said that PDM is working on a one-point agenda which is to avoid accountability and get NRO. Prime Minister Imran Khan has made it clear that he will not give NRO to looters. He is committed to eradicating corruption and accountability. He said that the deadline for resignation of the opposition had passed. All their announcements have become obsolete and now the date of the Long March will also be rescheduled. There is no threat to the government no matter how hard the opposition tried. The government will complete its constitutional term, Qureshi added.
