KARACHI: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) senior leader Ahsan Iqbal on Saturday said his party was in no mood to launch a movement against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.

Speaking to the media, he said the PML-N wants the government to bury under its own mistakes and failures.

“Our only fault was to build CPEC,” he said, adding that the country would have undergone more development if the PML-N had come into power again,” the former interior minister said.

He said many countries were against Pakistan’s progress and a conspiracy was hatched against “our government”.

The PML-N leader strongly criticised the PTI and Prime Minister Imran Khan for their pre-election rhetoric of bringing back $200 billion and not going to the IMF [International Monetary Fund].

Speaking of the accountability system, he said the process becomes controversial when it is driven by politics and revenge. “We will cooperate with the government if it is serious in introducing a system of accountability which should be transparent and beyond political vendetta,” he said.

He called on the NAB chairman to take notice of how the government was vilifying his department to achieve its goals.

“The chairman will have to face criticism if NAB and its activities become controversial,” he said.
