Ahsan hits out PTI for 'damaging' political, economic system

Federal Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal on Thursday hit out at  Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan for "damaging" the political and economic system and for trying to "create chaos" in the country.

Talking to a private television channel, he claimed that the PTI chief was found involved in attacking national institutions to regain power and added that Pakistan was facing economic turmoil due to the weak policies of his government.

The coalition government had invited Imran for talks many times to discuss issues but he always refused, he regretted.

Today, we need to work for the unification and well-being of Pakistan, he said, adding that the coalition government will not allow any person to spread anarchy in the country.

In reply to a question, the minister said that Imran should go to court to face money laundering and foreign funding cases against him.

He should respect the courts and obey the law of the country, he added.

He further said that the government will continue its efforts for the welfare of the people.
