According to sources, the Prime Minister stood up as Pervez Khattak’s talked and said that if you are not satisfied with me, I will give the government to someone else.

“I am fighting the war of the country, no personal interest, not my workers, my efforts are for the national interest, the source quoted PM as saying.

According to sources, Prime Minister Imran Khan gave a stern reply to Pervez Khattak and said that you are blackmailing me in front of everyone, I will not be blackmailed, you cannot blackmail me, I am not doing government to make property, I am calling you every day and asking for votes. Every day I am asking the IMF to reduce taxes. I have neither factories nor any business.

According to sources, the Prime Minister further said that if this is your blackmail then invite the opposition to come and govern.

Member Assembly Noor Alam also asked questions in the meeting chaired by the Prime Minister. He asked the Prime Minister whether the security agencies would not be affected by the autonomy of the SBP. Will we also jump on the IMF account details of security agencies?

On this, the Prime Minister said that he wanted to make it clear that there would be no compromise on the national interest, adding that the security of security agencies was the first and foremost priority.
