To a query, she said that the Prime Minister had stressed in the Cabinet meetings to make Parliament more functional.

Replying to another question, she said that the Prime Minister himself will come to the Parliament.

Presently, Firdous said that the government’s top priority was to stabilise the economic situation in the country.

She said that Imran Khan’s statement about Bilawal Bhutto was a slip of tongue. She said that such kind of words should not be used in the politics. In politics, she suggested that the attacks on individuals should be ended.

She said that no government wanted differences with the Opposition in the Parliament.  She termed Oppositions non-serious behaviour becoming the reason of rift in the Parliament.

We had to leave the double standards in politics and pay focus on the development of the country, she added.
