Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has asked the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf to stop making false propaganda that the country is going to default, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Talking to media in Lahore on Saturday, the interior minister rejected the PTI propaganda that country was heading towards default.
He said that the PTI leadership was hell bent upon destroying the country for securing its politics.
He goaded PTI Chief Imran Khan on the matter of dissolution of assemblies daring him to dissolve them as the PML-N was ready to contest elections.
He said that the party had requested PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif to lead the election campaign.
“This time we will make our government in Punjab after getting majority,” he said confidently.
Sanaullah reiterated that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) was ready to hold unconditional talks with opposition. He said that President Dr Arif Alvi was trying to facilitate the talks.
The interior minister said that the Daily Mail apologized to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on publishing a false story against him. He asked the former rulers that they should also tender their apology for getting a false story published in the UK newspaper.
On cases against PTI leaders Shahbaz Gill and Senator Azam Swati, Sanaullah said that Gill tried to create hatred in the ranks of Army and Swati too targeted military and judiciary.
Sanaullah said he was implicated in a false case, adding that politically-motivated cases should be abolished.
On Imran Khan’s putative daughter Tyrian White, he said there was proof that she was Imran’s daughter.
