PM Khan warned dissidents that the nation would “neither forgive nor forget you”
Prime Minister Imran Khan said in a live televised address to the nation on Thursday he was not going to resign and will face the no-confidence vote in the national assembly on Sunday, April 3.
“Sunday will be a defining day in the country’s political history,” Khan said. On April 3, MNAs who are the people’s representatives would decide to which side they would go — “independent foreign policy or slavery of the superpowers”, he said.
The prime minister’s address came hours after the National Security Committee (NSC) meeting decided to issue demarche to the foreign country involved in “undiplomatic” communication that the NSC said amounted to blatant interference in the internal affairs of Pakistan by the country in question, which was unacceptable under any circumstances.”
In an address to the nation on March 31, PM Khan named the United States as he spoke of a conspiracy to topple his government since he has been pursuing an “independent foreign policy.”
The premier warned the dissidents from his Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party against casting their votes in favour of the opposition’s no-confidence motion because the nation would “neither forgive nor forget you and the people behind you for becoming a part of the international conspiracy”.
