Lahore : Punjab Information Minister Fayaz-ul-Hassan Chohan has said that putting names of 172 persons on Exit Control List is the real portrayal of the character of 40 thieves and the PTI government acting as Ali Baba would bring Zardari and Sharif families to justice. He said that Nawaz Sharif will take music class in jail and Zardari will teach dance.

He was addressing a press conference at Islamia University Bahawalpur lawn after the provincial cabinet meeting here on Saturday.

He said that in PML-N’s government, Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari were fighting like quails to befool the masses, but in reality they were acting in connivance. He said now in Ali Baba’s tenure, the corrupt and thieves would not be spared and they would not be given any deal.

He said the thieves have lost their senses. Giving details about the agenda of the cabinet meeting in Bahawalpur, the minister said that it has been decided in the meeting that salary of doctors posted in remote areas would be increased.
