State Minister for Interior Talal Chaudhry rejects speculation of a conspiracy against the government and backs the coordination between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Field Marshal.
ISLAMABAD: State Minister for Interior Talal Chaudhry has dismissed speculation about an alleged conspiracy against the federal government, saying he is confident that no such move is underway.
Speaking on Geo News’ programme Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Saath, Chaudhry said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) had been too quick to celebrate developments it believed could work against the government.
“I am within the system and saying with complete confidence that no conspiracy is taking place against the government,” he said.
Chaudhry also defended the role of the Field Marshal, rejecting the suggestion that he could become part of any move against democratic governance. According to the minister, the Field Marshal wants to see Pakistan move forward and would not “stab democracy in the back.”
He further said the working relationship between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Field Marshal was strong enough to prevent any conspiracy against the government.
“The government has nothing to fear as long as the partnership between Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and the Field Marshal exists,” Chaudhry said.
The minister described the relationship between the two as one based on open discussions and cooperation. He said both sides discuss national issues openly and work together to find solutions.
His remarks come amid political speculation and claims about possible changes or developments involving the federal government. Chaudhry’s comments were aimed at rejecting such speculation and reaffirming the government’s confidence in its current political and institutional arrangements.
