He said Joint Investigation Team (JIT) has been formed on Model Town incident and law will take its course on day light murder of 14 persons.
The minister said Nawaz Sharif paid 85 days foreign visits along with family and personal investors just to promote his own businesses but in the contrary Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan had been conducting foreign visits only for the revival of damaged economy of Pakistan and he had been given open arms by the world leaders during his foreign visits.
