Taking a jibe at JUI-F Chief, Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Mr Chohan said that “he is convener of the All Pakistan Loot Maar Association”, opposition is gathering under one umbrella just to exert pressure on the incumbent government to stop ongoing accountability process, he continued.

Terming Prime Minister Imran Khan’s Saudi visit successful, the minister said economic situation will improve soon.

Yesterday, Chohan continued to hammer PML-N, said Hamza Shehbaz had compelled the MPAs to stage a sit in against the government.

Criticizing the opposition legislators, Fayazul Hassan Chohan said the PML-N’s legislators have not attending the session since October 19 but marked their attendance just to claim the allowances.
