Islamabad: Interior Minister, Sheikh Rasheed on Tuesday expressed confidence that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) is going to be victorious in the upcoming Senate elections.
During a news conference, the minister suggested to Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM), an 11 party opposition alliance, to extend their long march till the month of Ramadan.
He said that Former Prime Minister, Nawaz Sharif's passport will expired at midnight tonight, and if he wants to return to the country, the government can issue him permission within 72 hours.
"If Nawaz Sharif wants to return to Pakistan, he will not be stopped," said Sheikh Rasheed.
