Fawad Chaudhary expresses pleasure over passage of SBP Bill by Senate

Islamabad: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Chaudhary Fawad Hussain has expressed his pleasure over the passage of State Bank of Pakistan Amendment Bill, 2022 by the Senate.

The federal minister said in a Twitter post that those dreaming of no confidence have failed even in the house where they have the so-called majority.

He said the government has proved that all the parties together cannot defeat Prime Minister Imran Khan.

The information minister said with the help of God Almighty, this journey of success will not stop.

الحمدللّٰہ ایک اور دن ایک اور کامیابی، عدم اعتماد کا خواب دیکھنے والے اس ایوان میں بھی ناکام جہاں ان کی نام نہاد اکثریت ہے، حکومت نے ثابت کیا ہے کہ تمام جماعتیں مل کر بھی ایک عمران خان کے آگے ڈھیر ہیں، اللہ کی مدد شامل حال رہی تو انشاللہ کامیابیوں کا سفر رکنے والا نہیں
