Govt has wreaked havoc with economy: Imran

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.
