The government on Saturday dismissed the opposition's no-trust motion against the prime minister as "political terrorism" aimed at destabilising the country. "There are religious terrorists and political terrorists. They are the political terrorists and the government must take action against them," said Sarwar Khan, minister for labour and manpower, in a joint press briefing with Muhammad Ali Durrani, minister for information, and Yar Muhammad Rind, minister for states and frontier regions. "The move is a cheap manoeuvre just to keep themselves alive in the media. If they had any sympathy with democracy they would not have taken such a step, knowing that their defeat is certain. Democracy in this country is like a crawling baby," the ministers said.
