ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid said on Sunday that Pakistan Peoples Party Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s statement against the OIC is regrettable.

Speaking at a press conference, the minister called Bilawal ‘an agent of imperialists’, adding that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Shehbaz Sharif should look into the questionable politics of his close aides. I challenge people to disturb the OIC conference, he said.

The minister said that no member will be restricted to cast vote in the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan. “I would request the MNAs to take funds from them and vote for PM Imran. Our doors are open for our disgruntled workers,” he added.

Rashid said that the opposition should move ahead with their public rallies, and his ministry has given approval. “But if there is any mishap, the opposition leaders will be charged,” he said. “PM Imran will lead a public rally on March 27”.

The minister said that two MNAs – affiliated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf – responsible for vandalism at the Sindh House will be charged. Rashid expressed his hope that PM Imran will prevail in the no-confidence motion and in case he doesn’t he will hit back at the opposition leaders.

Rashid said that there is no one other than PM Imran to lead the party and the country. “There is no minus-one. I only know plus one and that is Imran Khan,” he said.
