Former interior minister and Awami Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed Ahmed said on Monday that they do not want any confrontation with the institutions but if there is a fight, he will be with Imran Khan in this war.

In a statement, the former interior minister admitted that the PTI-led government had some misunderstandings with the institutions which should not have happened.

"The army is with the democratic government but something happened that the coalition parties left and joined the opposition."

Rashid said that he was not in favor of fighting and still wants reconciliation, adding that he has started efforts this week in this regard but no response has been received so far.

“If a large gathering is held in Islamabad on the call of Imran Khan, then his politics would be overshadowed," Rashid said, adding that they won’t return without the announcement of date for general elections.
