He said that Federal Maritime Affairs Minister Ali Zaidi had alleged that Uzair Baloch used to get instructions from Asif Ali Zardari and Faryal as he (the federal minister) should bring forth evidences to prove his allegations as otherwise he should immediately step down, showing moral courage.

He said that Federal Maritime Affairs minister should better seek an apology from the leadership of the PPP for levelling baseless allegations against them. He said that Ali Zaidi was not willing to give answers related to the performance of his own federal ministry.

He said that Chairman of PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had declared his personal assets before the Election Commission of Pakistan. He said that Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had paid Rs four million tax alone on his agricultural income.

He said that the present federal government of PTI had completely destroyed the reputation of the pilots belonging to the national flag carrier and their future had now become bleak. Nobody knew well as who was the actual person behind such ill-advised decisions of the PTI’s government, he said.He said that the federal government had now made an attempt to usurp jobs of staffers associated with the Pakistan Tourism Development Corporation.
