Prevalent "bitterness” between the Opposition and the government be reduced: Fawad Ch

Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Fawad Chaudhry marked the beginning of the New Year (2022) by suggesting that the prevalent "bitterness” between the Opposition and the government be reduced.

In order to smoothen the relations between the government and the Opposition, the minister said: “At the beginning of 2022, I think we need to reduce the bitterness. The government and the Opposition should talk about elections, politics, economic situation, and judicial reforms.”

Throwing shade at the scuffle that took place at the National Assembly on Thursday when two female lawmakers slapped each other, he wrote: “Pakistan is a great country. We should know our responsibilities. Ruckus in the assembly lowers the image of the politicians.”

سال 2022 نئے سال کے آغاز پر سمجھتا ہوں ہمیں تلخیاں کم کرنے کی ضرورت ہے،حکومت اور اپوزیشن الیکشن، معیشت، سیاسی اور عدالتی اصلاحات کیلئےگفتگو کریں پاکستان ایک عظیم ملک ہے ہمیں اپنی ذمہ داریوں کے احساس کی ضرورت ہے پارلیمان میں فساد عام آدمی کی نظر میں سیاستدانوں کا وقار کم کرتا ہے

Meanwhile, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb took to Twitter and shared her views about the New Year and a swipe at the PTI-led government.

She wrote: “InshaAllah, 2022 will bring good days and happiness for the masses. The country will get rid of the PTI regime and the year will be of constitutional supremacy and law."

She further said that the country will get rid of the high inflation, deteriorating economy, and unemployment brought by the government.

Aurangzeb went on to say that basic necessities like sugar, wheat, petrol, and medicines will have a price reduction in 2022 and that the country will be free of the promised "tabdeeli” 

انشاءاللہ ۲۰۲۲ پاکستان اور عوام کے لئے دوبارہ سے خوشحالی اور ، ’اچھے دنوں کا سال ہوگا
٢٠٢٢ پاکستان میں انشاءاللہ ووٹ چوروں سے نجات اور آئین اور قانون کی بالادستی کا سال ہوگا
2018 سے جو تباہی تبدیلی کے نام پہ ملک پر مسلط ہے، 2022 اس سے نجات کا سال ہوگا
