ISLAMABAD: Federal Railways Minister Hanif Abbasi called upon the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) to enter into negotiations with “a clear heart and mind.”
Abbasi, while talking to media has stated that Khawaja Asif is considerably older than him and that their relations have never been ideal. “You are such a senior politician, yet you accuse your own party [Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) of operating under a ‘hybrid system,’” he said.
“This current system is not hybrid; I do not accept that. All decisions are taken by the party, and yet you claim I merely follow policy,” he added.
Abbasi said that salary increases are approved by the cabinet. “I do not want to raise salaries to the point that questions are raised,” he said.
Speaking about United States President Donald Trump, Abbasi said: “Donald Trump respects those who are powerful—just as Field Marshals have been honoured.”
He said that India is defeated and licking its wounds.
