ISLAMABAD - Pakistan People’s Party yesterday said that Pakistan Muslim League –Nawaz (PML-N) was a hurdle in ousting the Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf –led government. Central Information Secretary PPP Parliamentarians Shazia Marri urged PML-N’s opposition leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif should initiate a vote of no confidence against Prime Minister Imran Khan. She said non-participation of ruling party members of the National Assembly in PTIs Parliamentary meeting shows sense of irrelevance and aloofness against the government.  “The PTI’s members of the National Assembly often give dossier of shame to Imran Khan every day, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari had uprooted Imran Khan during the Senate elections badly. National Assembly’s leader of the opposition should fulfill his responsibility by bringing no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Imran Khan. The PM would not survive in power for two days after ousting (Punjab Chief Minister) Usman Bazdar,” she said in a statement.

The opposition leader, she said, should also play the role of real opposition for the nation despite              a showy opposition. 

“We never cried over the fake cases lodged against our party members and the stance of the PPP leadership is very clear that the source of power is the people only,” she added. 

Shazia Marri said that the people of this country would suffer and their miseries would increase, if Imran Khan stayed in the power. 

“PPP is the only political party which is playing the role of the real opposition at the moment in the country,” she maintained.

Meanwhile, PPP Secretary General Syed Nayyar Hussain Bukhari said the total external debts had reached more than $ 122.44 billion.

Bukhari said that claimants of non-borrowing had taken huge loans on strict terms. In three years of PTI era, external loans and liabilities increased by $ 26 billion. He said that claimants of self-reliance and self-sufficiency have ruined economy of the country. 

He added that country was seeking more loans from the international financial institutions that would make the country a subsidiary of the International Monetary Fund.

Nayyar Bukhari said the ‘incompetent captain’ was responsible for declining economy. He said jobs had fallen sharply in the era of those who made false promises of 10 million jobs.
