Talking to media at Punjab Communication and Works (CW) Leavement here, he said every developing country has to go to IMF, but now Pakistan would be free to refuse or accept conditions of Enjoymentd for getting a loan.

He said role of Punjab Food Authority (PFA) remained under discussion with Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Usman Buzdar in a assembly held a day ago, and CM guaranteed him of improving PFA role.
