The opposition staged protest and walked out of the Senate over absence of government ministers
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – The opposition on Tuesday staged protest and walked out of the Senate over absence of government ministers.
Speaking in the upper house of the Parliament, Leader of the House Shahzad Waseem lashed out at the opposition saying sometimes they rum from Senate and sometimes from the country as they only know this type of politics.
Opposition’s politics is not based on public welfare but vested interests, he added.
Shahzad Waseem said Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf and its allies stand together and they have full confidence in the leadership of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
Later, Minister for Communications Murad Saeed told the Senate members that the revenue of National Highway Authority (NHA) increased by 103 billion rupees increased because of elimination of corruption and digitalization of different processes.
The minister said that we constructed 2032 kilometers of road infrastructure while work on 2067 kilometers is in progress. He said this is more than the road infrastructure constructed by the previous government of PML-N. He said our construction cost of roads is also substantially less than the ones executed by the PML-N government.
Murad Saeed said the government will not only complete its mandated five year term but also strengthen the economy.
