Ghani criticises PM for anti-Bilawal remarks

Sindh Minister for Information, Archives and Labor, Saeed Ghani while responding to the criticism of Prime Minister Imran Khan on Chairman Pakistan People's Party Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, said Bilawal Bhutto Zardari appeared to be riding on the senses of Imran Khan and perhaps his fear did not even let him sleep.

He said this while talking to journalists on Tuesday. Saeed Ghani said whatever Imran Khan said about Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and the way he made fun of him could only be expected from a person like Imran Khan.

He said that any response to the criticism of a person who had selected a team who saw tomatoes being sold at Rs. 17/kg, peas at Rs. 5/kg and Rs.55 for per km travelling by helicopter.

The minister said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf was not an elected party but a selected party and it did not come to power by votes of the people.

He said that the PTI was an incompetent and a corrupt party which was corrupt even before coming to power.

This had been even expressed by one of the committees of the PTI, headed by former Justice Wajihuddin, the minister added.

Saeed Ghani said the reason expressed by Chairman National Accountability Bureau that since the case of Mian Mansha was in the High Court that's why the NAB could not hold inquiry against him was completely baseless as the investigation against Mian Mansha was ordered by the Supreme Court itself.

Provincial Minister of Information said that officers of the NAB including Chairman NAB himself did not want to conduct investigation against Mian Mansha, and it was for that reason they kept his case pending in the State Bank for six years.

He said that if the Chairman National Accountability Bureau would not take any action against my complaints about the condemnable attitude of Director NAB, Sukkur, against me and my officers, then I would be compelled to understand that whatever Director NAB Sukkur did he did so with the consent of Chairman NAB.

Responding to a question, Saeed Ghani said that yesterday's speech by Imran Khan proved that he did not sleep well owing to the fear of Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and he took sleeping pills as well as two days leave to relax his senses. Responding to another question, the Minister for Information said that I am thankful to Allah that till date no institution or person had given any order or advice to change my party.

Saeed Ghani said that Pervez Elahi has reiterated that the people of his party are being forced to part ways.

The provincial minister for information said that we had already said many times before that the people of the Muslim League-(N) and the PPP were also being forced to leave their party. He said that now even the allies of PTI including PML (Q) were saying this. Provincial Information Minister said that although the members of MQM were not saying this at this moment in time but they also knew that their people were also being forced to change party.
