Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal has said that Imran Khan wanted to spread anarchy by creating chaos in the country, adding that those who violated the constitution are the real culprits of the nation and will be punished accordingly, Aaj News reported on Sunday.

Speaking at a press conference in Lahore, the minister said that when the no-confidence motion was moved against the former prime minister Imran Khan, he termed the no-confidence motion against his government an international conspiracy, adding that the National Security Committee (NSC) dismissed the possibility of any foreign conspiracy twice, however, “Imran Niazi is playing with national interests to keep his politics alive.”

He said that Imran Khan questions courts’ verdicts during his public gatherings. "The courts were opened at midnight to stop violations of the constitution."

He said that the PTI-led government did not launch work even on a single industrial zone under China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) out of nine, which were supposed to be completed by 2020.

The minister further said that the European Union granted Pakistan GSP Plus status as well as huge markets. However, Imran Khan started to challenge the European Union to save his politics.

The minister said that US markets provide a huge platform for the progress of the country's businesses. “Pakistan wants access to US trade markets as well as US technology in several sectors,” he added.
