“I will ask the Inspector General of Police and Chief Secretaries of Punjab and KP and regional and district police officers of both provinces to address the public’s difficulties (after the road closures due to PTI protests). “
He further said that PTI workers are trying to block roads in Punjab at the instigation of the provincial government and the situation would have been different if there was a PML-N government there.

In response to a question, the minister said that a case will be registered against Mr. Khan under the Pakistan Penal Code.
