ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to the Prime Minister on Information and Broadcasting Dr Firdous Ashiq Awan on Thursday strongly responded to the joint declaration of the opposition – which gathered on a day earlier on a multiparty moot to devise a joint strategy against the government – for opposing the recently-formed inquiry commission to probe the utilisation of foreign debts in the past decade.
“This is an excuse to evade accountability…They want to conceal the reality of the debt [taken in previous tenures of the PPP and the PML-N],” she wrote on her Twitter account.
She said, while referring to the opposition parties, that they did not want national development instead they sought personal development.
Awan said that rejecting the National Development Council (NDC) was equivalent to hindering the state’s development and prosperity.
Recently, Prime Minister Imran Khan announced to form the commission to probe how foreign debts swelled to Rs24,000 billion in the last decade.
