Defence Minister Mariya Ahmed Didi says the only thing the opposition Progressive coalition is doing in the country is inciting hate.

In an interview with 'Raaje TV', Minister Mariya accused the opposition of playing political games in the name of defending the country's independence.

Mariya said though the Presidential Election looms closer, the opposition is not talking about what it would do for the people but is only trying to incite hatred.

She further said that the opposition is acting this way to hide their wrongdoing while in power but putting the country's national security in jeopardy while hiding their actions is not something a responsible party would do.

The Minister said that instead, the opposition should talk about what they can do for the people and that they should differentiate between political work and national work.
