ISLAMABAD, Dec 14 (APP):Federal Minister for Information Chaudhry Fawad Hussain Friday said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf in its manifesto had promised to bring back looted national wealth from abroad and there would be no compromise on that issue.

plundered the national wealth and built palaces for themselves in foreign countries.
He said that due to misgovernance of the past Jhelum and Pind Dadan Khan, like many other areas of the country , remained neglected in development schemes. He said that the PTI government would launch uplift projects in the previously neglected areas to bring them at par with developed areas.
