ISLAMABAD: Minister of Interior Ahsan Iqbal on Saturday said attacks on minority communities, such as Hazaras, are being organised by “foreign-funded groups” in order to sow seeds of discord in the country.
The enemies of Pakistan are trying to sabotage the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) by fomenting terrorism and unrest in the country, he said in a statement.
Taking a jibe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan, he said that “a cricket player is giving [government] lectures on development”.
The minister further said developed countries will remain underdeveloped if ‘tactless’ leaders, such as Imran Khan, become leaders. “A nation of 200 million people cannot hand over their fate to him,” he added.
“Good governance by the Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) played a crucial role in greatly improving the overall security situation in Pakistan,” he said.
