Federal Minister for Information Fawad Chaudhry on Friday said that previous governments of PML-N and PPP were to be blamed for destroying the state institutions through political appointments.
Addressing a ceremony in Lahore, he said the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government had inherited ‘financially empty institutions’ from inside when it assumed power last month, Express News reported.
Steel mills and PIA among other institutions have been destroyed, said the minister, adding that “when institutions go down, the country goes down as well.”

Fawad Chaudhry also said that all-out efforts are afoot for economic stability of the country. He said the country's exports are on the rise while imports are declining day by day as a result of the prudent economic policies of PTI government.
