ISLAMABAD: Federal Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed has said that Nawaz Sharif’s arrival to Pakistan has been hyped for no reason. It does not make any difference whether he comes or not, interior minister told the media Wednesday.

Rasheed stated that while each party asserts that the establishment should patronise them, the establishment asserts that they will back the elected administration.

“We have prevented the mafia group from establishing a foothold in any city,” he said, adding that they have not permitted any thugs to gain control in any city.

In response to a question, the minister said “nothing is about to happen” and that Prime Minister Imran Khan and his government will fulfil their five-year tenure by all means.

“We will contest the next elections with full force under the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan,” he added.

“I’m hoping that Imran Khan will bring inflation to an end in the fifth year of his tenure,” he said, adding that regardless of whether the mini budget is presented on the 12th or 15th, it’s “not going to be a doomsday”.

He added that the mini budget is Imran Khan’s effort to eradicate poverty.
