Minister slams PML-N leaders’ ‘cheap politics’; opposition again calls for exams postponement
ISLAMABAD:
Education Minister Shafqat Mehmood on Friday said that exams would start in the federal capital as well as provinces from Saturday (today), adding that the decision has been taken unanimously by all federating units.
“No surprise that N league, which is breaking apart, is playing politics with students to gain cheap popularity. People like [PML-N leaders] Ahsan Iqbal and Saad Rafiq knew that exams have already started in Balochistan and Sindh, therefore other students cannot be treated differently,” he said in a series of tweets.
