ISLAMABAD, JAN 19 (DNA) – Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed called on Prime Minister Imran Khan to apprise him about security plan for protest of Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) outside office of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).

During the meeting, PM Imran Khan directed Sheikh Rashid to main law and order in any case. The prime minister also allowed the interior minister to skip federal cabinet meeting.
