Lahore: Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting and National Heritage Senator Pervaiz Rashid said that PTI Chairman Imran Khan had discussed just trivial matters with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and ignored the vital issues of Kashmir, Sir Creek and Siachen.
Talking to the media after addressing a seminar on the "Role of Islamic banking in the economic development of Pakistan" here, he said the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman should have dilated on all the all important issues but he ended up talking about the sports matters during his meeting with Prime Minister Modi.
Imran Khan's visit to India was that of a sportsman and not as a politician, he said in response to a question.

About the Rangers powers in Sindh, Pervaiz Rashid said all the political parties had supported the operation in Karachi.
