PTI Senator and Information Minister Shibli Faraz has advised the opposition not to raise "sensitive issues for political expediency".

He was responding to PML-N Senator Mushahidullah Khan who earlier questioned the timing of the controversy around the National Commission on Minorities and said that the government "couldn't spare the issue during the pandemic".

Faraz advised the opposition not to talk about "issues that hurt the sentiments of the nation", adding that the country needs national unity through this difficult time.
