NOWSHERA, Oct 10 (DNA): Federal Minister for Defense Pervez Khattak has
said that JUI Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman is starting the protest
movement to cover up the corruption of former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz
Sharif and PPP co-chairman Asif Zardari.

Addressing a traders union ceremony at Nowshera District Hall, the
Federal Minister said that Maulana Fazlur Rehman was doing politics for
Islamabad, not Islam. He said there was no threat to the PTI government
and it will complete its term.

He said that the real face of the claimants of democracy has been
revealed to the nation, Fazlur Rehman was rejected by the people and
expelled from the assembly.

Pervez Khattak said that this a time for national unity but the
government is not afraid of opposition’s rallies and protests.

The Federal Minister for Defense said that recruitments are now made on
merit in every institution and the culture of ‘reference’ has come to an
end. The government is now on the right track and the PM’s main agenda
is to revive the economy, he added.

Pervez Khattak further said he has never used government funds for
personal use or done nepotism. “When I was the Chief Minister, I
released the most funds for sanitary work so that the streets could be
cleaned, but the local body administrators used just one percent of the
funds.
