Prime Minister Imran Khan Thursday dismissed the opposition’s claim that the government was in danger, saying “they make such statements every three months.” In a brief interaction with reporters at the Parliament House following the cabinet meeting, Imran played down the chances of PML-N leader and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif returning to the country, saying, “We also used to hear in the past about [Nawaz Sharif’s] return when he was in Saudi Arabia, but he only returned after a deal”, says a news report. Asked about a statement of the opposition leader in the National Assembly, Imran taunted that Shehbaz Sharif’s speeches were more a “job application” than anything else. Prime Minister and Chairman Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan said that PTI was the country’s most popular and well-organized political force. “We are heading towards achieving the target of empowering the masses politically and administratively at lowest level,” Imran Khan said while presiding over an important meeting of the PTI’s Central Executive Committee (CEC) here. Foreign Minister and PTI’s Vice Chairman Makhdoom Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Minister for Planning and PTI’s Central Secretary General Asad Umar and other members of the CEC attended the meeting.
