LAHORE
\nPrime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday declared PTI Chairman Imran Khan as the \u201cgreatest fraudster ever\u201d.
\n\u201cI have not seen a liar like Khan in my whole life. He tells lies day and night and conspires against the nation and the country\u2019s institutions,\u201d the prime minister said while addressing the Mufti Mehmood conference in the city.
\nHe said the Khan blows hot and cold in his public rallies and tells strange stories to his cohorts.
\n\u201cBefore, Khan claimed he had COAS\u2019 complete support, but now, he says he wasn\u2019t [allowed] to take decisions,\u201d PM Shehbaz said.
\nPM Shehbaz asked that if Khan\u2019s government was so powerless, what were they doing during their tenure that was a quarter short of four years. \u201cKhan is praying for the country to go bankrupt.\u201d
\nHe said the incumbent government would decimate the politics of hate and anarchy. Taking a jibe at Khan, PM Shehbaz said the economy was back on the path of recovery courtesy of Maulana Fazl-ur-Rehman\u2019s prayers.
\nIn the end, he paid rich tribute to Mufti Mehmood, a politician and Islamic scholar who was one of the founding members of the Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI).
\nHe said Mufti Mehmood was a humble and simple-natures human being, whose services for the country would go down in history as one of the outstanding scholars of Islam.
\n\u201cMufti sahib never closed the door of dialogue in his politics,\u201d Shehbaz said, adding, \u201cToday the politics starts with the swear words and ends with curses.\u201d
\nMoving forward, PM Shehbaz said how could he burden the nation with more inflation. \u201cWe signed a loan deal with the IMF with much difficulty [to help save the economy and bring down the consumer prices],\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
