Fawad Chaudhry said that PML-N and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) were facing internal conflicts between their own leaders. He added that the federal government led by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has once again proved its strength in the Senate by passing the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) amendment bill.
He added that the legislation made the central bank an autonomous institution free of any kind of political pressure.
