He lambasted the PDM-led government and said that now when the situation got deteriorated, they suddenly remember to fight against terrorism.

Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that for the last eight-nine months the government’s economic policies are going in the wrong direction. Every citizen and his life is important to them and the Peshawar bomb blast was heartening.
