PESHAWAR - Federal Minister for Defense Pervez Khan Khattak on Monday said separation of Pakistan People’s Party and Awa­mi National Party was a major setback for Paki­stan Democratic Move­ment (PDM) which had disintegrated the move­ment and shattered the dreams of Maulana Fazl ur Rehman. He said the opposition would not re­sign from the parliament as they feared that people would again reject them in the general elections, adding that the opposi­tion was not in a position to even move a no confi­dence motion. Address­ing a public gathering at Nowshera Kalan, district Nowshera, he said now opposition parties had rejected politics of resig­nations and protests and seeking help from the establishment to over­throw the government, he claimed. Khattak dared the opposition par­ties to stage a sit-in and the government would provide them ground, food and other facilities or they should resign from the parliament. He said desperate opposi­tion parties were wor­ried due to the ongoing accountability process in the country as the government under the leadership of Prime Minis­ter Imran Khan would not give them National Recon­ciliation Ordinance rather would hold them account­able for each penny they derived from national kitty. “Pakistan and corruption cannot be run simultane­ously and corrupt elements are being held accountable for each and every penny,” he remarked. The Minis­ter said people have seen the real face of opposition parties who are least con­cerned about development and welfare of the masses. Opposition were making hue and cry just for skin saving, he added.
