Federal Minister for Planning Asad Umar said that political parties in the country were hugely involved in horse-trading.

He was addressing the Kamyab Jawan Green Youth Movement orientation ceremony in Islamabad on Thursday.

“Pakistan is among those 10 countries that are badly hit by climate change and no previous government had taken care of the issue”.

The minister opined that the horse-trading of the Assembly members was in the upswing in Pakistan and the opposition was busy buying members with bags full of money.

He underscored that the premier had the support of the youth in Pakistan.

While referring to the statement by Maulana Fazlur Rehman, he said that Joe Biden could be the leader for him but surely not for Pakistan.

“Shehbaz Sharif knows that his party cannot compete with PM Imran Khan and has lost his hopes”, the minister added.

Umar maintained that the public gathering on March 27 would be a decisive one for the nation.
