Letters have been playing important role in local as well as international politics throughout the history. If we talk about Pakistan, a number of letters became important to decide the fate of the country. Similar letter has become talk of town currently. Prime Minister Imran Khan in his parade ground session waved a letter and said that he has received serious threats from somewhere. Since that day, there are speculations about letter everywhere.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister disclosed the content of the letter during his meeting with senior journalists. While briefing the journalists, Prime Minister said that a country has threatened Pakistan for serious consequences if the no confidence motion would not be succeeded. Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that a Pakistani envoy posted in a foreign country wrote the memo that he flashed on March 27 in a rally and termed it “threatening”. the envoy had sent the letter to Pakistan after he met an official of a foreign country. PM Imran Khan said the memo was shared with the military leadership, according to sources, and mentioned that the tone used in the cable was “threatening”. The prime minister said the memo would be shared with parliamentarians during an in-camera session, but noted that the name of the country that “threatened” Pakistan could not be shared as national security laws are applicable.
The development on this letter witnessed on the day when government lost its more wickets in the form of its 05 more MNAs and MQM. The PPP and MQM-P on Wednesday signed the “Charter of Rights for the people of Sindh” to develop a “long-term partnership” in various domains. The agreement was signed after the MQM-P which was one of the major allies of the PTI government announced that it had formally decided to side with the joint Opposition ahead of the no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan. The two parties have signed the agreement to develop a “long-term partnership to ensure harmony amongst people; to promote social justice, and to secure the economic well-being of the people of Sindh, especially of those who are left behind for various reasons”. Wednesday was very important day as it gave surprises to government. The day was started with the surprise given by MQM and was ended with the surprise given be 05 MNAs including Dr. Aamir Liaquit who reached Sindh House and joined opposition.
In his March 27 address to a PTI rally, the prime minister had revealed that “foreign elements” are involved in the attempts to topple his government and said, “some of our own people” are being used in this regard. In a press conference Tuesday, Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives Asad Umar had said PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif joined hands with foreign powers and is involved in the “conspiracy” against PM Imran Khan. The PML-N supremo is in London and he has met officials from the “intelligence agencies of other countries”. The federal minister said the Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) leadership is not “unaware” of the letter. PTI government is facing worst situation. In this situation the letter gate scandal is a card which the government has in hands. But, this letter would not be fruitful if the government could not prove opposition’s hand behind this letter.
