ISLAMABAD: Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb blamed Imran Khan, a former prime minister, for the country’s dire economic situation and asserted that the coalition government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has “thwarted Khan’s conspiracy to turn Pakistan into Sri Lanka.”
Aurangzeb responded to the speech given by the PTI chairman in Lodhran by saying, “Keep lying Imran Sahib, while Shehbaz Sharif, his brother (Nawaz Sharif), and his allies in the government will continue to work toward economic self-sufficiency and national development and address the issues of the people.”
The federal minister further criticized the former premier for agreeing to strict conditions in a deal with the IMF, saying that Khan “should be ashamed of himself for agreeing with [the conditions of] the IMF.”
Shame on you, Imran Khan, because it was you who claimed that you would rather kill yourself than visit the IMF.
Khan had abused his authority, according to Aurangzeb, who also claimed that the nation’s economy would have been doing better today if he had not.
The information minister continued by claiming that Khan had declined PM Shehbaz’s offer for the economic charter because he didn’t care about Pakitan’s development.
