According to reports, the prime minister said that the government was not in favour of challenging the high court’s verdict as his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), believed in respecting the decisions of courts.
“The prime minister directed all ministries and departments to accelerate efforts in implementation of people friendly policies of the government,” she said, adding the PM directed that each ministry should assess its performance on a monthly basis.
