ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information, Broadcasting and National Heritage Senator

Pervaiz Rashid has said that every Pakistani will confront the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf
(PTI) if Imran Khan tried to damage the country. He said that the PTI chief should admit
that his former plans had failed.

Talking to a private television, he said that no talks would be held with a person who was not
patriotic. He said that every inch of Pakistan would be protected and no city would be closed,
adding the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) wanted to close down Pakistan at a time when the
country was all set to receive an investment of $40 billion.

Pakistan will get access to Afghanistan and China by building its infrastructure and road
network, he added. He said that Pakistan had been improving its relations with Washington and
now Moscow had cordial ties with Pakistan.

The minister said, If Imran Khan thinks that we will remain silent, he is mistaken as we will
oppose him in every city against his incitement.In a separate statement, the minister said
patriotic masses will reject the call given by the Pakistan PTI chief on Sunday in a public
meeting to close different cities of Pakistan.

He said that Imrans real face had now been exposed and it had become clear that he wanted to
make Pakistan a failed state. He said that Imran Khan only complained about his failure. He said
that Imran Khan wanted to become the prime minister of Pakistan at any cost.

Regarding alleged printing of additional ballot papers in the previous elections, he said that a
fool like Imran Khan could talk about additional ballot papers without knowing the election laws
and rules. It is very strange that Imran Khans vote bank surged from one lakh to sixty lakhs.
He, however said, it is not astonishing that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vote
bank increased from sixty lakh to 15 million.

The minister said that Imran Khan should not oppose the project of Metro Bus as it was for the
benefit of masses, adding the nation is waiting for the evidence of allegations of Imran Khan,
who is raising a cry only to become the prime minister.

Pervaiz Rashid said that the tall claims of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief to gather a
million people in the federal capital had failed. He said the people had boycotted the sit-in and
public meeting of the PTI held in the federal capital.

Talking to various television channels, he said that the people had rejected the PTIs chief who
had claimed to bring a million people to the federal capital but he could not succeed.He said the
PTI chief had organised public meetings in Faisalabad, Sialkot, Jhelum, Larkana and other cities
of the country to convince the people through his drive. But today the PTI chief sat on the
container and waited for the people, he added.He said that the Jamaat-e-Islami and PMs Haripur
public meetings were better than the PTIs Jalsi today.
