Imran and cabinet to blame for making CPEC controversial: Ahsan Iqbal

"Irresponsible statements from the PTI have already made matters worse," he was quoted as saying. "The government should refrain from giving unverified statistics on CPEC projects."

He said that the government had been wrong in stating that the total amount of loans taken from China were $18 billion. He also said that without a doubt this was not a loan for Pakistan but a relaxation.

"The total amount of loans taken from China amount to $5.8 billion," said Ahsan.

"All energy projects are in the form of investment," he added.
