Meanwhile, the CM lambasted the opposition for not showing importance to the national interest; they have neither awareness nor understanding of national interests.”

He regretted that the opposition tried to gain political mileage after the Murree tragedy. “The opposition parties are least bothered about the national interest; they will go to every extent to gain political mileage on issues involving human lives,” he added. “They lack empathy and are only driven by the lust for power.
