Govt won’t talk to Imran, it will confront him: Pervez Rashid
ISLAMABAD: Reacting to PTI Chief Imran Khan’s warning to shut down Pakistan on December 16, Minister for Information, Senator Pervez Rashid Sunday ruled out holding talks with Imran Khan and that the government will instead confront the PTI chief.
Talking to Geo News following Imran Khan’s demand for ‘poll rigging’ probe coupled with a warning to shut down major cities and finally the whole country, Pervez Rashid said: “We are sons of Pakistan and we will confront Imran Khan in every city.”
He said neither Lahore will shut down nor Faisalabad. Imran Khan intended to paralyze the whole country because Pakistan has enhanced its reach up to Kabul and Middle East.
“Those challenging the atomic power will get a befitting response,” he said, adding, ‘is Imran Khan under the impression that we will observe silence on such a statement’.
Hinting that Imran Khan was part of an anti-state conspiracy, he said the international media had predicted two years ago that Pakistan would become a failed state in 2015.
