MULTAN: Veteran politician Javed Hashmi says reports of technocrats government are doing the rounds in Islamabad but he sincerely feels the PTI government should complete its tenure.

Talking to media here on Tuesday, the senior politician said the PTI government was being weakened due to wrong policies of Imran Khan.

“The PTI chief has committed a number of mistakes during his 87-day rule and now his friends have become his critics,” he said.

He said Banigala had been declared as a national park where no one had the ownership rights. He said the residence of PM Imran Khan had been constructed on the land of national park and no one had courage to demolish it rather he was being asked to get it regularised.

Talking about his days in PTI, Hashmi said once he was told that father of Zulfi Bukhari would bear all expenses of his election campaign in Islamabad but he refused.

He said the only purpose of the NAB nowadays was to suppress the old political parties for making room for new political parties. He alleged 95pc employees of NAB were corrupt.
