Farrukh Habib said that the opposition had not any agenda of people’s welfare.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting Farrukh Habib on Sunday said the government is not afraid of any long march or move of opposition parties.

Farrukh Habib said that the opposition had not any agenda of people’s welfare as they were only interested to protect their own vested interest.

He said that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) was continuously enjoying power in Sindh over a decade but the people of the province were still deprived of basic necessities of life, adding the provincial government was failed to uplift their living standard.

The minister said the provincial government was spending public wealth ruthlessly on PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari’s long march. The Sindh government should give answer first for its performance, he added.

He said Prime Minister Imran Khan was working on overall relief package for the people of the country, adding inflation had become a global phenomenon due to Covid-19 pandemic, which badly affected world’s major economies.

Farrukh Habib said the Pakistan Electronic Crimes Act (PECA) was not person specific and opposition should give their proposals to bring improvement in the PECA rather than criticizing the government.
