KARACHI: Federal Information Minister Shibli Faraz today (Karachi) has termed the opposition’s anti-government movement a political tactic to get a national reconciliation ordinance (NRO).
Addressing a press conference in Karachi, the information minister said that the opposition wanted to throw dust in the eyes of people through the campaign to hide their corruption.
“The Opposition has no moral ground to launch the anti-government movement,” he said, adding that the government will not bow down to the pressure tactics and will continue accountability of the corrupt elements.
The federal minister further said that the main objective of the opposition leaders to hold public gatherings was to secure their personal interests.
Shibli Faraz also said that the past regimes had ruined the state institutions. However, he said, the PTI-led federal government was making all-out efforts to steer the country out of the crises and put it on the path to progress.
Meanwhile, in a meeting with office-bearers of Pakistan Broadcasters Association in Karachi, Shibli Faraz said that content being relayed or telecast must be in accordance with social and cultural norms as there would be no compromise in this regard.
He said that the global economic situation and prevalent uncertainty have its impact on all world countries, including Pakistan. Shibli also urged that the concerned stakeholders should play a responsible role and help in stabilization of the institutions.
