On Sunday, Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal implicated former prime minister Imran Khan of “playing with Pakistan’s interests” to keep his “failed politics” alive. Addressing a press conference in Lahore, he said the National Security Committee (NSC) twice rejected the chances of any foreign conspiracy, however, “Imran Niazi is playing with national interests to keep his politics alive”. “If Pakistan wants to be a strong country, we need to have a strong economy,” he said. “That can only happen when we align ourselves with the global economy,” he added.
