Ikhtiar Wali Condemns PTI’s Ruinous Rule, Labels PML-N As Nation’s Last Hope

ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 19th Jul, 2025) Prime Minister’s Coordinator for Information and Broadcasting on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Affairs, Ikhtiar Wali Khan on Saturday came down hard on PTI, accusing it of causing widespread harm to the nation across multiple sectors during its tenure, while lauding the efforts of the PML-N-led government in reviving the economy and restoring Pakistan’s global image through effective diplomacy.

In an exclusive conversation with a local news channel, Ikhtiar Wali Khan strongly criticized the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for mortgaging key national institutions during its tenure.

He said that PTI's policies not only weakened the country's economy but also compromised national sovereignty by putting strategic assets at risk.

Wali further stated that such irresponsible actions reflect the party's lack of vision and disregard for national interests.

He emphasized that the PML-N-led government is now making serious efforts to rebuild trust with international and neighboring countries, which was severely damaged due to PTI’s confrontational and inconsistent foreign

policy.

According to Wali, strong diplomatic ties are essential for regional peace, economic growth and national security and the current government is fully committed to restoring Pakistan’s credibility on the global

stage.

Wali also highlighted the steps being taken to restore the integrity of state institutions, which, he claimed, were politicized and weakened under PTI’s leadership.

He said the present government believes in strengthening democratic institutions, ensuring transparency and promoting merit-based governance to bring lasting stability and development to the country.

He also criticized Ali Amin Gandapur, accusing him of creating chaos and instability instead of focusing on governance and public welfare.

Wali said Gandapur’s actions reflect a lack of political maturity and seriousness, which is further damaging the already fragile political environment in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

He added that the opposition is united and fully prepared to bring the provincial assembly back in order.

According to him, all opposition parties are waiting for the right time to take constitutional and democratic steps to ensure stability, law and order in the province.
