No-trust vote: Pak PM Imran Khan says 'will bowl an inswinger and take three Opposition wickets'

Addressing a rally in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Lower Dir, Khan lashed out at the three-party heads, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Sharif, Pakistan Peoples Party co-chair Zardari and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief Rehman, who have teamed up to file a no-trust motion against him, holding the government's inability to control inflation that has badly hit the ordinary people.

Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said he will bowl an inswing yorker against Opposition leaders Shehbaz Sharif, Asif Ali Zardari and Maulana Fazlur Rehman and "take all the three wickets" after the trio joined hands to file a no-confidence motion against him.

Addressing a rally in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa's Lower Dir, Khan lashed out at the three-party heads, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Sharif, Pakistan Peoples Party co-chair Zardari and Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) chief Rehman, who have teamed up to file a no-trust motion against him, holding the government's inability to control inflation that has badly hit the ordinary people.

Terming the opposition leaders as "three stooges", Imran, a former cricketer-turned-politician, recalled instances from the past when, according to him, these leaders had gone against Pakistan's national interests.

Khan, who was one of the fastest bowlers in the world and one of the pioneers of the reverse swing bowling technique, said he had been praying that they go ahead with their plan to file a no-confidence motion against him so that he was given an opportunity to "take three wickets in one ball".

"I am competing against these three dacoits and ... I will take all three wickets with one inswing yorker," the 69-year-old prime minister was quoted as saying by the Dawn newspaper.
