Answering a question about the RGST, he said that the PML-N is being convinced on the matter and hoped that efforts in this regard would succeed.

The mninister said that PML-N had singed the RGST in a meeting presided over by the prime minister in the presence of federal and Punjab finance secretaries and others, but now it is opposing it.
