Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Central Secretary Information Sheikh Waqas Akram on Friday criticized the federal government for making what he believes to be false claims regarding the country’s economic stability.
Sheikh Waqas Akram, in his statement, accused the federal government of deliberately misleading the public by claiming that the economy is moving in the right direction.
He emphasized that the government’s claims were deceptive, and they presented these lies so convincingly that many people might believe them to be true.
PTI leader expressed these views while addressing a press conference at the Information Cell at Civil Secretariat Peshawar. Advisor to the Chief Minister KP on finance Muzammil Aslam was also present on the occasion.
Sheikh Waqas Akram stated that during the PTI’s tenure, the country saw an increase in exports and imports, and poverty rates were reduced.
Today, those responsible for destroying the economy have ruined the country’s institutions. In Punjab, the names of basic health centers were changed to the Chief Minister’s name.
In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, 103 diseases are treated under health programs, but now the Chief Minister of Punjab has introduced separate cards for each disease. The banner of anti-farmer policies has been raised in Punjab, with severe injustice being done to farmers.
Finance Advisor to the Chief Minister, Muzammil Aslam, while speaking at the press conference, stated that the total debt of KP is Rs725 billion, and that much debt was acquired by Shehbaz in just one week.
The stock exchange rose to 52,000 points, but this rise was due to just 5 companies out of 500, he stated and added that two companies have drained the public’s wealth, and gas prices have increased, tightening the public’s neck.
Muzammil Aslam furthered that PML-N and PPP have been in power for 29 months. Since 2022, inflation has increased by 60pc, and in 27 months, they took loans amounting to Rs27 trillion, he added.
