ISLAMABAD, OCT 19 (DNA): Responding to opposition’s repeated demand for Prime Minister Imran Khan to step down, Defence Minister Pervaiz Khattak on Saturday clarified that the premier’s resignation is out of question.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, the minister once again extended offer of dialogue to the opposition parties, adding that they should not make any hue and cry afterwards.

He said government would act in its own way if someone tried to assault on federal capital. He said JUI-F would be responsible if something happened.

He said opposition was invited for talks but they did not come that shows there agenda is something else, adding that they want to press Kashmir issue.

He said Indians are happy for this sorry state of affairs in Pakistan but government would restore its writ. He warned that interior ministry would handle the issue if they would not resolve their issues wit committee.

He said the country is progressing under the leadership of PM Imran Khan and opposition knows their politics would end if PM Imran completed his 5 years term. He said such situation was also created in KP in past but they fight against it and were chosen by people once again.
