Opposition's politics centered on making money: Shibli Faraz
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Federal Minister for Information Shibli Faraz has said that the opposition’s politics is centered on making money, and then using that money to buy people’s conscience.
Talking to media after Tuesday’s cabinet meeting, Shibli Faraz said that the government pushed to hold Senate election through open ballot to make them transparent but the opposition showed its hypocrisy on this important issue. The nation knows who opposed the open ballot, he added.
Shibli Faraz said that the opposition does not have moral strength, their only strength is money. Even so, their members are reaching out to us. We will also ask our opponents for their vote. However, who becomes Senate Chairman is unknown at this time, he said.
Talking about the cabinet meeting, the Minister said that the draft of SBP Amendment Bill 2021, which aims to empower the SBP, was approved in the federal cabinet meeting. The government has given more powers to the SBP enabling it to now make independent decisions.
In the past, governments only made money and used the SBP for political gain. State Banks in other countries are also empowered, he added.
He also said that Justice (retd) Azmat Saeed had refused to accept any compensation or salary for his services, a move welcomed by the federal cabinet.
