Marriyum Auranzeb says Mohsin Naqvi to ensure elections, not selection

Federal Minister for Information Marriyum Aurangzeb while congratulating newly-appointed Punjab Caretaker Chief Minister Syed Mohsin Naqvi has maintained that now there would be “elections and not selection”.

In a tweet uploaded on Monday, the minister said PTI Chairman Imran Khan who is a “foreign agent” and who had invested $30 million of cancer hospital donations in business, is at pain because the appointment of Punjab Caretaker CM was in accordance with the law and Constitution, and was not done through “witchcraft”.
