ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Interior Moh­sin Naqvi has made it clear that no one will be allowed to run a nefarious campa­i­­gn against state institutions.

He expressed these views during separate meetings with MQM chairman Kha­lid Maqbool Siddiqui and JUP Secretary General Owais Noorani on Monday.

During a meeting with JUP Secretary General Owais Noorani, Mr Naqvi said that JUP has always spoken in the best interest of the country.

He reiterated that everyone needs to move forward by joining their hands together. He highlighted that we need to bring the country out of its current challenges thro­ugh positive thinking and unity.
