The railways minister noted that Prime Minister Imran Khan was the second name of Pakistan Tehreek e Insaaf (PTI) and added that the premier would not spare any looter or corrupt in the country. Rashid declared former finance minister Asad Umar a great man and termed the newly appointed Adviser to PM on Finance Hafeez Sheikh an asset for the country.
