Fawad Ch terms APC continuity of 'father protecting movement'

Federal Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Friday has said that All Parties Conference (APC) is only continuity of father protecting movement.

In a statement, the minister said that the opposition neither has credibility nor political ambition. Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) is not capable of doing protest politics now, he added.

Commenting on slow pace of work of National Accountability Bureau (NAB), he said the leaders of PPP had made corruption cases against its rival party leaders representing Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, during their regimes.

Fawad Chaudhry said NAB Chairman was selected by opposition parties and now, the leaders of PPP and PML-N, wanted to amend laws to avoid cases being tackled by the anti-graft watchdog.

He said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government working under dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan would never grant National Reconciliation Order (NRO) to those elements found involved in money laundering and corruption cases.

Commenting on opposition parties’ ruckus in the national assembly, he said the leaders of opposition benches do not have any interest with people’s affairs as they were seeking NRO from ruling party, adding he said but they (Opposition), always found discussing the personal matters rather to hold debate on development programs benefiting the common man.

He made it clear that PTI government would continue reforming process for achieving its goals of progress and development.
