KARACHI: Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafiq on Friday asked  Bilawal Bhutto Zardari not to copy Imran Khan's style in politics as the Pakistan People's Party chairman took an exception to the government for what he said failing to ensure accountability and leading the country into isolation.  

Speaking to media at the Karachi Press Club, the minister said he acknowledged the sacrifices of the PPP for the cause of democracy but Bilawal Bhutto should not try to "teach us a lesson about democracy".

Khawaja Saad Rafiq said that PTI's Dharna was a conspiracy against democracy.

He said those who in the past practiced the politics of shutting Karachi were divided into groups.  

Regarding Thursday's collision of trains near Karachi, he stated that the mishap happened owing to human error and  according to initial investigation the signals and other system was functioning accordingly.

He said that the railways traffic system has now been restored up to 80 percent.

The Minister was of the view that train accidents also occur in other countries as a result of human errors.
