Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said that Indian intelligence agency RAW was behind the suicide attacks in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan.
Talking to media on Saturday after inaugurating new block of 50-bed emergency ward of Allied Hospital, constructed with donations by philanthropists, the law minister said India wanted to destabilise the country by bomb blasts.
He said the economy was being damaged by terrorism, adding that the government was not funding any religious organisation. He rejected the Indian propaganda and said the hospital and school which were established by Jamaatt-ud-Dawa in Muridkey were now under the control of Punjab government and funds for these institutions were also being released by the government.
Sanaullah said the government would privatise loss-making national institutions in a transparent manner so that the amount spent on these enterprises was spared for the welfare of masses. He said increase in taxes was in the larger interest of the country and such bitter pills would have to be taken by the people for three more years.
