Ahsan Iqbal criticises Imran saying amateurs cannot run govt

LAHORE: Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal on Sunday heavily criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, saying that an amateur cannot run a government and its affairs.

Speaking at a ceremony in Lahore, he said that a chairman of union council has more work experience than Imran. “The PTI chairman failed to produce 10MW of electricity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he added.

The minister commented that Imran claims that he is Pakistan’s ‘Mr Clean’, adding that he is as clean as military ruler Pervez Musharraf. The interior minister said that it was former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and his team’s expertise which led to Pakistan being the centre of attention due to the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).

Ahsan said that at the time when Pakistan is being criticised by US President Donald Trump, the local parties are busy holding All Parties Conference to fuel inner dissent.

Days after the report of Model Town incident became public, Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Tahirul Qadri said on Thursday that they have called an all parties conference on December 28, during which they would announce their future course of action.

The PAT chief had called on Punjab Chief Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Law Minister Rana Sanaullah to step down from their positions by December 31, in the light of the Model Town inquiry report.
