Govt to slump oppositions’ no-trust move against PM: Qureshi

Islamabad: Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi Monday stated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government will inflict defeat to the opposition's no-trust move against Prime Minister Imran Khan in a political and democratic manner in accordance with the spirit of the constitution.  

While addressing a news conference, the Foreign Minister said that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leadership is resorting to undemocratic and unconstitutional tactics and offering money to buy the loyalties of elected representatives. 

Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the PTI government has full confidence in its allies including PML-Q, MQM-Pakistan and Balochistan Awami Party.  

“The allied parties always stood by the government in the past and we are grateful to them,” he added.

He said the leadership of allied parties comprises of seasoned politicians who cannot be hoodwinked by the opposition parties. 

The minister said the unholy alliance amongst the opposition parties is a marriage of convenience which is not durable and will shatter soon. 

“These opposition parties have no common ideology,” Qureshi pointed out, adding that, oppositions’ only agenda is to oust Prime Minister and everybody knows as to why they are scared of him.  

“The drama staged by the opposition parties is not benefiting the economy or the business environment in the country,” he stressed.

Alluding to the situation on the global front, Shah Mahmood Qureshi said that the government will move forward keeping in view the national interests.
