ISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has once again lashed out at the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) led coalition government for allegedly plunging the country into myriad of problems and economic collapse.
The PTI chief in a statement issued on Friday said that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank reports have testified that the Sharif government has failed to prevent the economy going into tailspin despite inheriting a stabilized economy moving on an upward trajectory.
He said that this was reflected in the Economic Survey which identified the PTI government’s economic performance as the best in the past 70 years in terms of growth rate (6 percent), industry, agriculture, employment, construction, exports, remittances and tax collection - at an all-time high. “What we left behind and how the imported government, brought in through regime change conspiracy, has wreaked havoc with the economy,” he added. Now Pakistan faces unprecedented inflation hitting everyone, unemployment, food insecurity and rupee in freefall, Khan said and added the government is completely directionless. The former prime minister stated that the only achievement of this “cabal of crooks” has been to get another NRO (National Reconciliation Ordiance)-like deal for the billions they allegedly looted from Pakistan. “The question the whole nation is asking is: Who is responsible for this conspiracy against Pakistan?” he said.
