Sarwar said Prime Minister Imran Khan is well aware of the situation and ensuring all measures to rid the country of all problems, including inflation.
To a query, he said there is complete democracy within Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and all decisions are made in consultation, adding that PTI government will complete its constitutional term and elections will be held on time in 2023.
