NSC ‘endorsed’ no-confidence motion as a tool of regime change plot: Claims PM

Islamabad: After dissolution of the national assembly (NA), Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday claimed that the national Security Council (NSC) endorsed that foreign interference for regime change was being done through no-confidence motion.

Addressing Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders, he said that foreign interference had been made into the internal politics of Pakistan as a plan for a no-confidence motion was orchestrated outside.

He said that in the National Security Committee’s (NSC) meeting, the country’s highest security body, it was also noted that foreign interference was made into the internal politics of the country through a no-confidence motion.

He said minutes of the communiqué regarding a meeting between the ambassador of Pakistan in the US and the US officials were shared in the NSC’s meeting.

The prime minister said a plan was perpetrated outside Pakistan to interfere in the internal politics of the country, adding that when the highest national security body confirmed it, it became irrelevant to how many numbers the opposition had in the assembly.

The embassy officials of the said country were also in contact with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) members who had defected, he said.

The prime minister, referring to his announcement early in the day, said that the opposition was in a state of shock, and they did not know what had happened to them.
