PTI has adopted policy of creating unrest and chaos in the country and it is just doing politics of agitation to disturb routine matters of people, he said talking to ptv.

PML-N was victorious in general election 2013, Gilgit Baltistan and Azad Kashmir general election, Local bodies, bye- polls and Cantonment elections due to prudent polices of the PML-N government.

He said the parliament is right forum to address the issues and urged PTI to present its issues in the Parliament instead of playing politics on roads.

The country was moving on the right path of development and progress, he added. Replying to a question, he said the government was ready to make legislation on Terms of Reference (ToRs) on Panama papers. The opposition has prepared its ToRs a person specific, but there should be equal accountability law for everyone.
