KARACHI:Commenting on the current political situation, Provincial Minister for Industries and Commerce and Anti-Corruption and Cooperative Department Jam Ikramullah Dharijo has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has promoted apathy and slander in politics which is a very shocking act.

He said in a statement on Monday that the PTI government and its members were worried about the economic crisis and inflation. Now even the PTI workers are frustrated with the policies of their government and openly express it, he said.

Dharejo added, “PTI has won the vote of confidence in the National Assembly through bullying and rigging, which is anti-democratic and the beginning of a wrong tradition.” He said that the attitude of the federal government was condemnable.

“U-turn Imran Khan does not know what the state of Madinah is, where people are committing suicide due to poverty and inflation. The claimants of the state of Madinah should be ashamed of themselves.”

Dharejo said that politeness should not be lost in political differences. The PPP believed in democratic values and decency, he added. The minister said that PTI workers and leaders were in dire need of political training. He said: “The tumult of PTI members in the assemblies indicates a lack of political acumen and democratic values.”
