Ahsan Iqbal rubbishes claims work on CPEC stopped
The CPEC was shut down after false propaganda by Imran Niazi, says Ahsan Iqbal
ISLAMABAD: Minister for Planning and Development Ahsan Iqbal has rubbished claims that work on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) had been stopped after the new government came to power.
Reacting to a tweet by a retired military officer, he tweeted,” Respect yourself, don’t tell a lie. The CPEC was shut down after false propaganda by Imran Niazi. Over $29b projects had been launched in the PMLN government while no new project worth even $1b stared in the PTI tenure. Even approved projects were put in cold storage.”
Earlier, a retired military officer had tweeted that a major target of the new government had been completed after work on the CPEC stopped. “Chinese engineers are leaving Pakistan. A plan to harm Pakistan is underway,” he alleged.
