Sheikh Rashid said that he had said three months are crucial and out of this time one month has passed and two months are remaining, adding that the opposition should come and fulfill its desire. He said that the opposition could not do anything as its wrings and pistons are not working.
He further said that Imran Khan is leaving for an important visit to China where he will discuss China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and other matters of mutual interest.
Sheikh Rashid also announced that his Saudi counterpart will visit Pakistan on February 7 and will hold important meetings with President and Prime Minister.

The minister said the government wanted to open 13 new passport offices in Sindh and areas were being located for them. However, he said that they were waiting for the Sindh government’s response in this regard.
He said he had already directed the Chairman NADRA and officials of passport section to visit Sindh and finalize areas for setting up the said offices and centres.
Sheikh Rashid said that letters have been written to the Chief Secretaries and Inspector Generals of Police to stay alert regarding law and order situation in the country. He said we are prepared to deal with the law and order situation. He said no talks are going on with the TTP as its demands are not acceptable.

He said both Pakistan and Saudi Arabia enjoy longstanding relations.
