The PTI Senator said that registering more and more cases against political opponents would not fix the worsening economy and depreciate the US dollar against the rupee.
Senator Faisal Javed said “We are ready for talks if government announce a date for general elections in the country”.
He highlighted that inflation in the country had surged to record level. He said the government was also planning to introduce a bill, adding that any curbs on journalism would not be accepted.
Accusing the government of political victimisation of the PTI leaders, he said they were facing different cases on daily basis. “I have been nominated in 13 cases,” he said.
