‘Maulana, you are acting like Maula Jutt. You will have to pay the price,’ warns Sheikh Rasheed

Interior Minister Sheikh Rasheed on Wednesday warned Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman that he would have to “pay the price” if the joint Opposition’s move to overthrow Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan pushes the country into anarchy.

“[The] Opposition should fear lest this no-confidence motion pushes the country towards destabilisation,” Rasheed said while addressing a press conference in Islamabad.

“We will not touch you, but if you disturb the law and order, then we will not spare you,” warned Rasheed.

The minister said that it’s the first time Maulana Fazl has become furious and is playing the role of Maula Jutt.

“It’s a shame. You have huge respect as a religious leader but the language you are using is not highlighting the principles of Islam.”

“If it causes civil war and anarchy in the country, you’ll have to pay for it.”

Rasheed said that PM Imran Khan will be benefitting even if he loses or wins in the vote of no-confidence against him as his popularity among the masses has increased massively during the last three weeks.

 Rasheed said that all members of parliament will be protected ahead of the voting on the no-confidence motion.
