\nPrime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Saturday addressed a public gathering in Ghotki following his visit to Karachi for announcing development and prosperity plans.
\nIn his address at the palace of Grand Democratic Alliance\u2019s (GDA) Ali Gohar Khan Mahar in Khangarh, the premier strongly responded to what he termed as the \u2018alliance\u2019 of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) by stating \u201cdo whatever you can, we would not let you escape.
\n\u201cIf you want, we can provide you container at D-Chowk [for protest], and food as well,\u201d he said, adding we [the ruling PTI] will see for how long you can sustain. He recalled that the PTI staged the sit-in for 126 days while the reason behind the protest was to secure democratic norms in the country, and holding of free, fair and impartial elections.
\n\u201cThis country will not forgive you. You have only one way out: return the state\u2019s money and we will leave you be,\u201d the premier said.
\n\u201cIn 2008, total debt to be paid by Pakistan was Rs6,000 billion while in the year 2018, the total debt rose to Rs30,000 billion. Where did the money go?\u201d he asked.
\nFollowing ineffective policies and corruption in the last ten years, the tax collected is Rs4,500 billion. From which Rs2,000 is paid as an installment on the loan,\u201d he added.
\nConcerning Sindh, he said the province should have been a prosperous province as Karachi, the financial capital, is located in the province.
\n\u201cSo what\u2019s the reason of poverty in the province?\u201d he asked, while terming corruption responsible for the current financial condition of Sindh.
\n\u201cSindh\u2019s 70 percent gas is produced from Ghotki as 250 gas wells are present in the district. This region should be far ahead of others, and industrial zones and schools should have been built here,\u201d he said. While criticizing the 18th amendment, he said the federal government was already in loss of Rs700 billion from the total tax collected on the yearly basis.
\n\u201cAfter transfer of development funds from the center to provinces, the amount should have been spent for development of the provinces. Sindh received Rs234 billion gas royalty in 10 years,\u201d he said following the NFC award.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
