Federal Information Minister Atta Tarar has said that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) party faced a historic defeat on May 9, followed by India on May 10.
While inaugurating various development projects in his constituency, Tarar criticised PTI, accusing the party of prioritising personal and political interests over Pakistan’s welfare.
He mentioned that on May 9, there were attacks on memorials dedicated to martyrs, including some related to the sisters of the PTI founder, and highlighted how their interviews continued to undermine Pakistan.
Tarar also accused PTI of misappropriating £190 million and claimed that during its 12 years in power, the party had left Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in ruins without building a single school or university. In contrast, he asserted that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has undertaken significant development work across the country, with a plaque honouring Nawaz Sharif present on every major project.
The Federal Information Minister emphasised that strengthening democratic institutions and prioritising public welfare are paramount. He stated that promoting decency in politics and involving youth in the decision-making process is essential, and that practical steps are being taken to address public issues.
Tarar also referred to the strong backlash against statements made on social media concerning the army and national leadership, calling such remarks against the sacrifices of martyrs regrettable. He stressed that the interests of Pakistan should not be sacrificed for personal ego or political gain, and emphasised the need for serious measures to counter propaganda against national institutions.
Furthermore, the Information Minister assured that development projects would be completed swiftly and that initiatives to improve basic facilities are currently underway in the constituency.
