PM’s address to nation postponed: Faisal

Senator Faisal Javed Khan on Wednesday announced that Prime Minister Imran Khan has “postponed” his address to the nation.

“Prime Minister Imran Khan’s address to the nation has been postponed today,” he wrote on his official Twitter handle without giving reason for the move.

Earlier during an interaction with the media, Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed had said that Prime Minister Imran will address the nation in the (Wednesday) evening to take it into confidence in the light of the prevailing political circumstances and a no-trust vote against him.

Earlier in the day, Rasheed had addressed a ceremony to launch an e-passport facility in Islamabad alongside PM Imran.

During his address at the ceremony, Rashid had claimed that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif through Saudi King Shah Abdullah had put pressure on the Pakistan Army to let him go to Saudi Arabia. The minister had claimed the army did not want Sharifs to go to Saudi Arabia.

“A similar drama took place in Attock and he fell ill after which the Army Medical Board reported that his health is critical and it was decided to let him go out of the country for treatment,” Rasheed had added.

He had said that he will stand by PM Imran like a rock, adding that the people are with Imran Khan even if those who allegedly took the money had parted their ways.
