ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Wednesday has said that the nation has never witnessed before such a worst economic condition of the country.
Addressing the members in National Assembly (NA), the PPP leader said the government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) signed a weak deal with International Monetary Fund (IMF), adding that the general masses are bearing the after-effects of this agreement.
Prime Minister Imran Khan is preparing to increase the prices of basic commodities. The meaning of new Pakistan is only unemployment, inflation, and poverty. This is not changing but devastation, he stated.
Bilawal Bhutto alleged the incumbent government of destroying the agriculture sector and farmers by creating a urea crisis. The ministers took ineffective decisions because of their stubbornness and ego, he expressed.
The PPP leader said that the government had rejected the offer of Opposition Leader in NA Shehbaz Sharif regarding National Economic Dialogue. The ministers were adamant about not talking to the opposition on any issue. You could have presented the stance of opposition before IMF, he stated.
Bilawal Bhutto further asserted that the mini-budget will hike the prices of 1000cc cars by 100 percent. The party of ‘Twitter and Facebook’ has also imposed new taxes on Information Technology (IT) sector and aid money, he went on to say.
The PPP chief asked when will PM stop selling his lies and think about the people. He demanded the federation to raise the salaries of government employees by 100percent, adding that Sindh authorities have set Rs25000 as minimum wage to provide relief to the nation.
He further said that the agriculture sector suffered a lot from the unequal distribution of water. PM said that coronavirus is a major crisis of this century but it’s not true. He [Imran Khan] is actually the biggest crisis in Pakistan, he reiterated.
Talking about new initiatives of the PTI government, Bilawal said that health cards will badly affect the health sector of the country. The federation is misusing resources in the name of health cards. We need to raise the standard of hospitals, he stated.
