ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Chaudhry Fawad Hussain on Sunday said public officeholders could not evade accountability.

`It is strange that the chief minister or any public office-holder says that I am not accountable to you,` he said in a series of tweets.

Whether it is the chief minister or any minister, he has to be accountable to every citizen, he said.

`No officer or chief minister can evade the government inquiry under Article 149and other clauses,` the minister said.

He said the opposition had no strategy or plan, adding that `it started with resignations and stopped at public meetings and is now talking about bringing a noconfidence motion`.

`Who will dare to bring a no-confidence resolution against Prime Minister Imran Khan,` he wondered.

`You should be thankful for escaping life imprisonment and disqualification, the minister said while addressing the opposition.-APP
