ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain has accused the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) of anti-Punjab practices, saying that the parties of the anti-government alliance had stolen billions of rupees from the province.
On a social media website, he said, “So-called nationalists have swindled billions of rupees and abuse Punjab to deceive their supporters.”
“On average, Rs 400 billion are transferred to Balochistan every year. Balochistan’s population is just 10 million, where did the money go?” he added.
پاکستان کی آدھی آبادی پنجابی ہے، PDM کا سٹیج ہنجاب دشمن پارٹیوں کی آماجگاہ ہے، نام نہاد نیشلسٹ اربوں روپیہ ڈکار کے اپنے لوگوں کو دھوکہ دینے کیلئے پنجاب کو گالی دیتے ہیں دس سالوں سے بلوچستان کو اوسطاً چارسو ارب روپیہ ہر سال ٹرانسفر ہوتا ہے ایک کروڑ کی آبادی ہے یہ پیسہ کہاں گیا؟

Earlier, the minister had said that the PTI government was committed to eliminating corruption from society while talking to a private news channel.

Fawad had further said that the opposition parties were not serious and sincere to make electoral reforms to ensure transparency in the system.
