LAHORE, Aug 4: Federal Information Minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmad has expressed his dissatisfaction over the train prepared by the railway authorities to commemorate services of the Madar-i-Millat Fatima Jinnah for the nation and the country.

The minister who visited the railway carriage factory here on Monday, said “worn out coaches” had been earmarked for the Madar-i-Millat train which would run throughout the country for a month. He also did not like the colour scheme of the train.

Saying his ministry had paid Rs5 million to the railway for the renovation of the train, he said would talk to the railway minister who was presently abroad.
