He said the political chaos continued for one and a half years in the country, which affected the country’s economy and GDP. Pervez Khattak criticised the former PTI chairman’s act of disclosing a state secret by waving the alleged cypher in a public rally last year, a case for which he is currently under trial. He said PTIP politics revolved around the masses and the development of Pakistan as well as the resolution of masses issues cornerstone of his party policies.
