ISLAMABAD: Standing his ground despite Opposition parties threatening to oust his government, Prime Minister Imran Khan said Wednesday that there will be no reconciliation with the Opposition, reported Geo News.
The prime minister was addressing a meeting of government spokespersons where he criticised opposition parties. PM Imran said that the only reason Opposition parties were being allowed to hold rallies was so they can not later use the “political revenge card” against the government.
“They can hold jalsas or stage dharnas, no one will give them [Opposition] an NRO,” said the prime minister. “If the government gives them an NRO, there will be no movement,” he added.
PM Imran directed government officials to bring to public knowledge the matter of Rs2,5bn spent during the NA-120 by-election.
Late PML-N representative Kulsoom Nawaz had participated and won in the NA-120 by-election.
