Refuting Imran Khan’s claim, Railway Minister Khawaja Saad Rafique said exclusion of voters from lists is not possible, thus, the PTI chief should not waste nation’s time.
Talking to newsmen in Islamabad on Monday, Information Minister Pervaiz Rashid asked Imran Khan to leave negative politics and do positive politics for the betterment of the country.
The Minister called upon PTI to play its part in the Parliament and give suggestions to overcome the challenges of terrorism, energy shortage, unemployment, poverty and ignorance so that the Government may speed up the development work.
