MULTAN: Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Monday that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government will defeat the Opposition’s no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Speaking at a media talk, the PTI leader said that the opposition is divided on whether to go for a fresh election or not. “The Pakistan Peoples Party doesn’t want elections right now,” he said. “By going to the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid they have buried their narrative of Vote ko Izzat Do. Why did they go to our party allies who they believe came in power through rigged elections.”

Bringing a no-confidence motion is the opposition’s constitutional right but they will be defeated at all fronts, he said. “Going to our allies to seek support for no-confidence motion puts them down,” he said.

Qureshi said that at least three times the premier has called Pakistan’s foreign policy a success story. “Pakistan hosted the OIC conference. We are going to call the foreign dignitaries again on March 23 again,” he added.
