KARACHI: While referring to Prime Minister Imran Khan’s claim of receiving a “written threat,” PTI dissident MNA Basit Bukhari said the letter from the European Union was a regular matter that the premier exaggerated beyond the scale.
Bukhari said this in response to a query on Geo News’ ‘Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath.’
He claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan resorted to utilizing religion in politics after realizing he had lost the game. The dissatisfied MP swore to see the no-confidence motion through, predicting that the prime minister will be taken to Bani Gala the following Monday.
Meanwhile, another dissident MNA, Ramesh Kumar, slammed PML-Q leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi, saying he shouldn’t have made such bold assertions if he had to go with PM Imran Khan in the end.
He claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan’s embrace of Pervaiz Elahi was beyond his comprehension.
Kumar brought up the PML-Q leader’s interview earlier this month, in which he strongly criticized the premier.
The minority legislator went on to remark that the Prime Minister had always said he would never remove Usman Buzdar from his position as Punjab Chief Minister, but now he has.
He recommended Imran Khan graciously resign. He was convinced that the dissidents would keep their word and that anyone who broke it would ruin their politics.
He was perplexed as to why state authorities were unable to uncover the plot mentioned by the Prime Minister, while the Ministry of Foreign Affairs was successful.
Furthermore, Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed prophesied that Imran Khan would play until the final ball and that the dissidents will eventually return to his side. He stated that Tariq Bashir Cheema has concerns for his constituency. He is obstinate, but the Chaudhry brothers would take him on.
According to the minister, he advised the prime minister to dissolve the Punjab Assembly. He proposed early elections because he believed the prime minister was popular.
He went on to describe his work with the Chaudhry brothers, saying:
“We faced murder trials and spent years in filthy police cells, but we never complained since the worker is the one who makes sacrifices (for the leader).”
