To a question, the minister said that he was ready to provide train to Fazlur Rehman  like he had offered one to PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Praising premier Imran Khan, he said that Imran was now going to Iran and then Riyadh on diplomatic tour to bring the both muslim countries closer to each other.

"It is Prime Minister Imran, who fought the case of Kashmir at every forum including in China," he added.

The minister said that Pakistan did not want war, but it would be the last war, if Pakistan was pushed into it.

To another question about the inflation and price hike, the minister said that it was casued by previous governments.

He said that PML-N leader Maryum Nawaz played a key role in damaging PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif.

"Now see, what Hassan and Hussain do for their father," he added.
