Fawad is currently serving as the Federal Minister for Information & Broadcasting under the Pakistan Tareek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership.

His remarks came at a time when Pakistan’s financial debt continues to mount under his own party’s rule.The country’s total debt has gone up to Rs.149 trillion during three years under Imran Khan-led-Pakistan.

Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) government, according to an annual report released by the State Bank of Pakistan, the country’s vernacular media reported.

Meanwhile, Pakistan’s public debt had increased by over eight per cent in 11 months of the fiscal year ended in June due to increased government borrowing to meet the spending requirements during the COVID-19 pandemic, The News International reported citing government data in the month of July.
