Reko Diq is a gold and copper mining project in Balochistan. He asked for a discussion to be held on the matter in the Senate. вЂњThe federal government has no right to sell Reko DiqвЂ™s resources to pay off the countryвЂ™s debts,вЂќ Shahi said, adding that Reko Diq is the property of the people of Balochistan. On Wednesday, the prime minister while talking about the countryвЂ™s natural resources at a startup demonstration ceremony in Islamabad had said that foreign debts would be paid through the gold reserves of Reko Diq mines, The News reported. Meanwhile, National Party Senator Mir Kabir Mohammad Shahi submitted an adjournment motion regarding a recent speech by Prime Minister Imran Khan in which he talked about the Reko Diq gold case, saying that the premierвЂ™s statements had вЂњno legal basisвЂќ.

The PTI senator demanded that the Senate be told what assurances had been given to Rehman. Shibli Faraz, the leader of the House in the Senate told Haideri that Rehman had talked about certain assurances that he had been given to wrap up the Azadi March. He further said that he would resign вЂњif the prime minister fulfils the conditions of Article 62 of the ConstitutionвЂќ. Where is he today?вЂќ Haideri claimed that the prime minister was unqualified for elections and had come to power through вЂњfake electionsвЂќ. Pervez Musharraf charged us with treason. вЂњSuch cases have been made in the past as well. вЂњIf the prime minister says this then the Article should be applicable, who is the obstacle?вЂќ he questioned, daring the government to вЂњtake the historic stepвЂќ of filing a treason case. вЂњThey have lost their minds,вЂќ the JUI-F senator declared. The premier had told journalists earlier in the day that Rehman should be tried for treason for talking about the ouster of the government.

Meanwhile, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Senator Abdul Ghafoor Hyderi took exception to the prime ministerвЂ™s statement regarding Maulana Fazlur Rehman. As per the rules, the social media platforms will also have to remove any content deemed вЂњunlawfulвЂќ and pointed out to them through writing or electronically-signed email within 24 hours or in cases of emergency, within six hours.
