ISLAMABAD, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 15th Jun, 2019 ) :Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Friday said the opposition stood divided in the National Assembly (NA) as it did not allow opposition leader Shehbaz Sharif to deliver his inaugural budget speech.

Talking to media here, he said the rift in the opposition had come into fore as the members of Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F) disrupted the budget speech of Shehbaz Sharif.

He said opposition had nothing against the budget and doing politics in the name of religion which was highly condemnable.

Prime Minister Imran Khan was a pious person and he was doing politics of principles, he added.

From the very first day of the current government, Prime Minister Imran Khan had constituted a high powered committee to probe the alleged rigging in the general elections and to amend the laws of National Accountability Bureau (NAB), he said.

He said the main aim of opposition was to save their corruption. Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz was the pioneer of corruption in politics he said and cited the example of bringing Punjab Assembly MPAs to Changa Manga.
