Rashid said the elements predicting ‘something unusual’ in September would be hugely disappointed as the government would complete its constitutional term. He said the people of Islamabad had already heard Tahirul Qadri’s predictions twice and have seen the results.
Rashid recalled that Qadri had foreseen during the previous government’s tenure the end of the government by 2:30 am. However, the previous government managed to complete its tenure. The minister dismissed the claims of Brahamdagh Bugti saying that the youth in Balochistan had responded to his statement by raising ‘long live Pakistan’ slogans and by celebrating Independence Day with full fervor. He remarked that Bugti would surely have heard those voices.
Rashid added that the cinema culture is seeing a revival in Pakistan and people are being provided with entertainment opportunities.
Education and health are provincial subjects, according to him, and the federal government is fulfilling its responsibilities by supporting the provinces.
