Pak opposition sees conspiracy of PM Imran Khan to cause bloodshed

Islamabad [Pakistan], March 27 (ANI): Pakistan opposition party, Pakistan People's Party (PPP) claimed that "a conspiracy is being hatched to cause bloodshed on the streets of Islamabad" to sabotage the no-confidence resolution against Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Addressing a joint news conference on Saturday, PPP senators Palwasha Khan and Rubina Khalid said, "A conspiracy is being hatched to cause bloodshed on the streets of Islamabad while domestic and foreign elements will be involved in this riot," according to the Pakistani newspaper Bussines recorder.
"If there is a riot on the streets at the behest of the government to thwart the no-confidence resolution, then questions will be raised who will pay for the march to bring one million people in Islamabad? Those who have not been able to answer the foreign funding case to date will pay to bring one million people to Islamabad? Behind 'you' (Pakistani PM) is the funding of India and Israel," they (Palwasha Khan and Rubina Khalid) questioned were quoted as Business Recorder.
Senator Khan said that suicide attack threats are coming from the federal ministers. While Khalid said that the Pakistani interior minister said that he will lead the rally from Rawalpindi. She further claimed that the banners are being displayed at the government's expense.

When handing over Kashmir to Modi, bowing before the International Monetary Fund (IMF), and handing over the State Bank to the IMF, why you did not say 'Absolutely not' at that time?" Khalid was saying as quoted by Business Recorder.
"You (Imran Khan) prayed for Modi's victory, you like India's foreign policy, Kashmir and Palestine issues were not even mentioned in the Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC) statement," she added.
