If, they want to talk, they should also have courtage to listen, he added.
Taking the floor, Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry said opposition parties are only worried about cases against them. Prime Minister Imran Khan wont give National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) to any one at any cost, and the thieves will be caught, he clarified.
“The head of thieves is sitting in London and 40 thieves are moving here.”
