Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi has rejected the ultimatum of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and said that the Prime Minister will not resign and the assemblies will not be dissolved.
Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that in the eyes of PTI, it was a meaningless activity, an argument was dropped because they had announced that on the 13th we would hold a historic meeting in Lahore. Will hold
"I am clearly saying that there is no consensus on resignations in the ranks of the PDM and I am not talking to you about what you have heard, but from within," he said. To resign or not to resign or when to resign.
He said that as far as the PPP was concerned, there was ambiguity and their strategy was not clear. The main reason was that the decisive force in the PPP was neither in the meeting nor in the PDM. Asif Ali Zardari is the decisive force.
He said that there is an example of showing ivory and eating and so on. Bilawal does not make decisions. PPP decisions are still made by Asif Ali Zardari. His inner circle knows him well. Who is in power?
The Foreign Minister said that I am clearly saying that the PPP has not made a decision yet, maybe I am thinking, no decision has been made.
He said that the second largest party of PDM is PML-N. And there is a gap between the two thoughts and they have not come together yet.

He said that then you see that there are two lines in the party, some of whose faces reflect the thinking of Nawaz Sharif and some of the ladies and gentlemen reflect the thinking of Maryam Bibi.
"I want to tell them that if you agree with the resignations and are really serious, then your resignations should reach the speaker by the 31st, not the leadership because the resignation is a sham to the leadership," he said.
He said that a hard worker thinks that it is a method of pressure and it is a time-consuming activity and nothing more, it is not serious.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi claimed that there is still no consensus in the PDM on the long march. After the rally in Lahore, his meeting with the Jatiya Amira said that a meeting of the PDM would be convened on February 1. And it will be decided after discussion and the date will be given, that is, there is ambiguity.
Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that this made it clear that there was no consensus on resignations and there was no consensus on the long march.
He said that the workers were invited on the 13th and the workers came because the workers have an affiliation with the leadership which they obeyed and reached but the PDM failed to evacuate the people.
He said that if you leave Pakistan and Punjab province, if the city of Lahore had been mobilized, there would have been a meeting, it would not have been the disappointment that the PDM has had to bear, it showed that the conscious citizens of Lahore and Lahore Stay indifferent to the process.
He said that Lahore is the center of politics and the pulse of politics and this pulse informed him of his decision.
The foreign minister added that the failure of his meeting was explained by the fact that the business community reacted to it and the next day the stock market went up, if there was any force in his meeting the stock market would crash. Would have gone up
He said that the leadership of the Pakistan Democratic Movement, instead of considering the rejection of the statement, it was argued that such and such channel of media did not do justice, such and such anchor of media was saying this, you blame your failures on media. Why are you putting
"The media reports and they comment on what they see. Now if they comment on what you like, the media is free and if they comment on something that is against your mood, they are under pressure from the media," he said. Yeah Al that sounds pretty crap to me, Looks like BT ain't for me either, Looks like BT ain't for me either, Looks like BT ain't for me either, Looks like BT ain't for me either, Looks like BT ain't for me either, Looks like BT ain't for me either.
He said that when the same media shows you a mirror and you do not like your face when you look in the mirror, then you transfer your grief and anger to different media channels.
He said that many things were said in the Lahore Declaration, he also mentioned the ultimatum and said that we give this ultimatum that the Prime Minister of Pakistan should resign by January 31 but why should he resign, Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan or this. The government has the mandate of the people.
He said that his party has got 17 million votes. Why should he resign at your request?
Continuing the conversation in the press conference, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that then it was said to go because they did not see the elections as transparent, how can you, being a democratic movement, make an undemocratic and unconstitutional demand, a The person who has the mandate of the people, who is enjoying the vote of confidence of the House in the spirit of the Constitution, is therefore Resign that this is your wish, your every wish cannot be fulfilled.
"After the 2013 elections, a lot of people had objections. We had objections, but the amazing thing is that the PML-N should take a closer look at who is standing on their right and left today," he said. People, I mean PPP what they were saying in 2013, didn't PPP say that 2013 elections are RO elections but you didn't listen to PPP and other parties and you were stubborn We have a mandate and this mandate must be respected.
He said that if PPP is elected in 2008 then it completes its full five-year term, if PML-N is elected in 2013 then it completes its full five-year term then in 2018 PTI and its Allies have been elected, so why not complete their term? What is logic? What is the justification for rigging, which is the election after 70 on which the question of rigging was not raised? Every election has raised some question marks but if your intention is clear then a way can be found for it.
The Foreign Minister said that their objectives are different. If you do not accept the mandate of PTI today and you do not want change in the House but transparent elections, then this demand of yours is undemocratic, unconstitutional, and immoral.
"Suppose elections are held, suppose you get a mandate, why would the PTI recognize it, if you did not recognize the PTI's mandate, why would the PTI recognize your mandate?" Will admit and then it will stop where and how political stability will come in this country.
"If you want to permanently destabilize the country, it is important to think about whether our regional situation allows it. There are serious elements in every party and they should pay attention to that," he said.
He said that if you maintain this state of uncertainty, what effect will it have on the people? You say that people are going through the mill of inflation, if the economy is moving forward, the economic indicators are going up. If so, why are you interfering?
He said that your goals are something else and the nation has realized that only then have they shown no interest in the 13th.
"You want to talk conditionally, which is not acceptable to us. Threats will not work."
He said that Bilawal said that the time for dialogue has passed but it is inexperienced because in politics there is negotiation, the doors are not closed in politics, if you want to learn, learn from your grandfather.
Referring to Maryam Nawaz and Bilawal Bhutto, Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that these two people waiting for our future Prime Minister will not be able to tolerate each other, that time is not far away because it is a temporary and unnatural alliance whose There are negative goals.
He warned the PDM leadership that with this attitude you can harm democracy, learn lessons from history and the history of Pakistan is in front of you, democracy has been derailed more than once, lessons from history. Learn
Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that I am outspoken and I want to convey the position of PTI to the top leadership of PDM without wasting any time that we reject your ultimatum.
He said that you are saying that the Prime Minister should resign by January 31, we are clearly saying that the Prime Minister of Pakistan will not resign.
He said that you are saying that the assemblies should be dissolved, the Prime Minister is saying and I am interpreting them that the assemblies will not be dissolved, the system of the country cannot run on your wishes.
The Foreign Minister said that we reject this deadline but we have no stubbornness. Putting aside our personal interests and agenda and putting aside political interests and agenda, if there is anything in the national interest, bring it forward. If you want transparent elections and electoral reform, come and sit down and talk.
