ISLAMABAD
\nChairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Tuesday condemned what he called the government\u2019s \u2018arbitrary and absurd decision\u2019 of placing the independent Regulatory Authorities under the very ministries they are meant to regulate and ensure they perform within the law and the ambit of their legally-prescribed bounds.
\nKhan stated that, \u201cNawaz Sharif, in a move that reflects a clear disregard for accountability and transparency, Nawaz Sharif has destroyed the independence of these Regulatory Authorities by placing them under the administrative control of the very ministries they were meant to regulate and oversee.\u201d
\nChairman Khan declared that, \u201cSuch a brazen move to undermine any form of transparency and accountability of the government ministries is unacceptable in a functional and meaningful democracy.\u201d
\nHe added, \u201cTherefore PTI totally rejects this move by the government. This move, he said, is part of Nawaz Sharif\u2019s scheme to reduce the Parliamentary democratic system into a \u2018badshahat\u2019 and to destroy all regulation and accountability of the government, state organisations and bureaucracies.\u201d \u201cPTI will fight this nefarious design on all forums,\u201d he said.
