MIRPUR: Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has claimed that international powers are colluding to create misunderstandings between Pakistan and China.
“Some international powers don’t want our friendship to thrive, but they don’t know that our friendship is higher than mountains,” he said while interacting with journalists in Azad Jammu and Kashmir on Tuesday.
We have completed the Dasu Dam investigation and China has expressed its satisfaction with it, the interior minister shared. Last week, 13 people, including nine Chinese nationals, died when a passenger van carrying them to the Dasu hydropower plant fell into a ditch after a blast.
Rasheed claimed that Israel and India can’t even tolerate the sight of Prime Minister Imran Khan because of the stand he has taken against the atrocities in Kashmir and his favourable image in the Muslim world. They have launched an “undeclared hybrid war” against Pakistan.
Anti-Pakistan forces are trying to tell the world that our country is not safe, he added.
Speaking about the AJK Elections 2021, he said that Maryam Nawaz is running the PML-N’s campaign, and rather than asking for votes for her party, she has started criticising Imran Khan. She has threatened to hold protests in Islamabad if her party loses. She knows that the PTI will win. He added, “We are campaigning for the bat, the electoral symbol of the PTI.” Imran Khan will take the country forward.
MINISTER SAYS INCIDENT WITH AFGHAN ENVOY’S DAUGHTER NOT ABDUCTION CASE: Minister for Interior Sheikh Rashid has said that during investigation of incident occurred with Silsila Alikhil, the daughter of Afghan Ambassador to Pakistan Mohammad Najibullah Ahmadzai, it has been proved that this incident was not a case of abduction or kidnapping.
Addressing a press conference on Tuesday, the interior minister mentioned that the unannounced international hybrid war has been started against Pakistan. “India and Israel do not like Imran Khan. We registered the abduction case of Afghan envoy’s daughter even when the incident was not kidnapping case as per the probe,” he said.
The minister said Islamabad Police has reviewed over 700 hours footages of 300 cameras installed on the travelling route of Afghan Ambassador s daughter while interviewed over 200 citizens. He said that all four taxi drivers have no criminal record. He said that Afghan Ambassador should join the investigation process for logical conclusion of the case as the FIR was lodged on his application.
Sheikh Rashid mentioned that some elements wanted to destabilize Islamabad s relations with China and Afghanistan. “We will foil the nefarious designs prepared by enemies and Pakistan will continue its journey towards development under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan,” he reiterated.
Sheikh Rashid said that the Johar Town incident took place a day before the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) meeting. “Some world powers do not want Pak-China friendship to rise above the Himalayas, the investigation of Dasu incident has been completed,” he said, adding that the Chinese government has expressed satisfaction over the investigation being carried out by Pakistan to find out culprits.
Taking a jibe at opposition, the interior minister said that Maryam Nawaz is campaigning against Imran Khan in Kashmir. “Only PTI will succeed in Azad Kashmir. Staging sit-in is Maryam Nawaz s hobby, let her sit happily,” he added.
