Imran to be presented with tough demands: Dr. Shahid Masood
Senior analyst Dr. Shahid Masood has revealed that Prime Minister Imran Khan is about to be presented with a series of "tough demands" by certain groups.
"The biggest danger to Imran Khan are the people who surround him," the senior anchor said on GNN's show 'Live with Dr Shahid Masood'. "He knows this well enough to have asked Intelligence Bureau to keep an eye on him and report back to him about what his cabinet says," Dr. Shahid Masood said.
Discussing the fact that the Prime Minister does not have a majority in the parliament, and the coalition has a very thin lead in numbers, the senior analyst reminded the viewers that he had pointed out these groups. "When the conspiracy of minus one was discussed earlier, it was in reference to Jahangir Tareen and Shah Mahmood Qureshi. The majority of the people meeting the Prime Minister are from South Punjab and are in contact with Tareen," he said.
He predicted that these people or groups are about to present Imran Khan with a series of very tough demands. "They know that now that there is talk of a no-confidence move against the Premier, the ruling party needs them more than ever," he commented.
Earlier in the week, Pakistan People's Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari indicated that a no-confidence move against the Prime Minister would be the best course forward for the opposition alliance, Pakistan Democratic Movement.
