LAHORE (Dunya News) – Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry on Saturday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) should search for a new leadership as the future of Sharif family was doubtful.

Talking to media in Islamabad on Saturday, he said that the PML-N was facing defections adding that forward blocks in the party were also being formed.

The minister said that the government is determined not to spare those persons who plundered the national exchequer.

Chaudhry went on to say that the PTI government needs to pay US$8 billion in debt this year as the previous governments took loans for their lavish spending. “Pakistan would not be in the same situation when PTI government would complete its tenure,” he said.

The information minister said that the government was set to accomplish the task of constructing five million houses.

“Those who have looted the national exchequer have put the country on the brink of stake,” he said and added it was PTI government’s duty to clean the country of these plunderers.

Chaudhry said: “The government had to go to IMF for loans under compelling economic situation in the country.”

The minister said that he has submitted a resolution in the National Assembly for constitution of a parliamentary commission to identity those responsible for current fragile financial situation of Pakistan and submit its report in one month.

He expressed the hope that the country will not be facing a similar situation when the PTI government completes its term.
