FAISALABAD: The coalition government’s “difficult decisions” since taking office in April have once again placed Finance Minister Miftah Ismail in the crosshairs of both allies and enemies.
When PML-N leader Abid Sher Ali declared on Thursday that the alliance is currently fighting against inflated energy rates and not with PTI Chairperson Imran Khan, disputes inside the party grew more intense.
Talal Chaudhry stood to Ali’s left and right as he addressed a press conference, saying: “We are disappointed by Miftah’s statement. People endured load shedding for 18 hours during Nawaz Sharif’s tenure, but the party leader put an end to the suffering despite pressure from the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
