LAHORE: Information minister Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday said that the prospect of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) joining hands to launch a movement against the government did not make the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) nervous at all. “Thugs of Pakistan will be the right title for their alliance, which is destined to fail just like Bollywood flick Thugs of Hindustan.” He once again claimed that the political careers of PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif had ended. Chaudhry said Pakistan had faced a debt of Rs 6 trillion when the government of former president General Pervez Musharraf ended, but the debt rose by 84 per cent to Rs 30 trillion when Nawaz Sharif’s tenure ended. “Where has this money gone?” he asked. He alleged that Sharif’s children had become “billionaires” at an age when an average Pakistani child was not even eligible to be issued a national identity card. The minister said that the ruling PTI had dismantled the web of corrupt alliances in the country. “The verdicts are quite obvious as the owners have failed to defend their properties,” he said in response to a question. Recounting the government’s achievements on the economic front, he said a vivid change was happening on a daily basis. “France has changed its travel advisory while others are ready to do the same due to the improved political situation in Pakistan. The government is willing to ease visa restrictions in order to attract tourists and more investment in the country.” Countries like United States, China, Saudi Arabia and the European Union are willing to invest in Pakistan, he added.
