Addressing a press conference in Islamabad on Monday, he said Prime Minister Imran Khan has laid foundation of an independent foreign policy and gave clear message to imperialistic forces that Pakistan’s soil would not be used for drone attacks.

He said the Prime Minister provided big relief to the masses by reducing petrol, diesel and electricity prices keeping in view the prevailing economic situation.

Commenting on the current political situation in the country, Sheikh Rasheed said the no confidence motion against the Prime Minister would face defeat and Imran Khan would emerge victorious in all crisis. Defeat is the ultimate destiny of the Opposition parties.

The minister said that no hurdle would be created in the way of long march by Pakistan Peoples Partly (PPP) and assured the full security would be provided to them.

Replying to a question, he said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) would contest general elections from all provinces next year and that there would be real contest between PTI and PML-N in Punjab.
