“We have decided to perform legislation for doctors and paramedics’ protection.”

“Those who have been rejected by the people are talk about toppling the government […] Maulana Fazlur Rehman has failed in his mission, his negative agenda has failed […] Maulana Fazlur Rehman’s thinking approach has always been negative,” she added.

She pointed out that inquiries were being conducted by the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) against the political prisoner, and a special aircraft was used for the political prisoner.

“Previous governments had crippled the economy [but now] positive reports about the economy are being [issued] at global level […] the economy has moved towards betterment under the leadership of Imran Khan.”
