Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday held the United States responsible for the ‘foreign conspiracy’ to overthrow his government.
“Ok I’m taking the name of US. The conspiracy has been hatched with the help of America to remove me,” PM Imran said while addressing the participants of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) parliamentary party in Islamabad ahead of a crucial no-confidence vote in the National Assembly on Sunday.
According to a report, only 140 lawmakers were present in the meeting.
The premier said people are seeing the conspiracy and its characters and alleged that US wants to see its “slaves” in power in Pakistan.
Reiterating his resolve to fight till the last ball, PM Imran Khan said he will not leave the ground for the corrupt and will fight in the National Assembly. No-confidence motion against him will fail, he added.
Commenting on the turncoats, he vowed not to shake hands with them in future. He termed the party MNAs standing beside him heroes and said he will not forget those who stood by him in the difficult times.
He also said it is good that the establishment has kept itself neutral in the present political situation.
Lauding the landmark victory in the second phase of local body polls in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, PM Khan said that PTI has swept the seats and PML-N and PPP have been overthrown from the scene.
“I am observing your gestures and it seems that you are here to give me a farewell like this is our last dinner,” the prime minister said passing a quipping remark.
“Don’t worry until the last bowl is bowled, your captain might pull off something unusual.”
