LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader and former federal minister Ahsan Iqbal on Friday said the government was caught red-handed for trying to enforce black law in the name of Financial Action Task Force (FATF).

Addressing a press conference here in Lahore on Friday, he said the government could not cover up its performance by levelling baseless allegations against the opposition. The PML-N leader said Prime Minister Imran Khan-led PTI government had completely failed in every field after completing two years' tenure.

Ahsan Iqbal said that "even today traders, investors and workers are disappointed," adding the government was trying to enforce a black law, adding that under the law everyone could be jailed for six months.

The former minister went on to say that they will expose the government's actions to the international community, adding that it was a plan to ensnare the people in the black law.
