ISLAMABAD: On Saturday, hours after the cabinet adopted an ordinance to circumvent all the formalities for the process and also abolish regulatory inspections for selling state assets to foreign countries, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and PTI Chairman Imran Khan got into a heated Twitter battle.
Khan questioned whether it was appropriate to entrust the sale of national assets to a “imported government.””How can the sale of national assets be trusted to an imported government that was installed through a US conspiracy, led by a crime minister whose family and [PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali] Zardari had volumes written about their corruption?”Khan continued by blaming them for the “current economic collapse” and for “plundering Pakistan for the last 30 years.”
“We must never permit these thieves to sell our national assets in the cunning way they are attempting. They will never be trusted with our national assets by the country, he wrote.
