Shehbaz Sharif lashed out at PM Imran Khan on mini budget

LAHORE, Dec 31 (SABAH): Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and Opposition leader in National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif on Friday lashed out at Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan and said that he had surrendered to International Monetary Fund (IMF) in economic war.

While talking to the press, he said the government says that the burden will not fall on the poor people when in reality, this mini budget will seize the economy’s engine altogether.

This is the level of brutality and indifference this government has shown towards the poor people of Pakistan, said the opposition leader.

Shehbaz Sharif further accused Imran Khan and company of increasing inflation in the country.

Earlier, the PML-N leader said that economic and political stability feeds directly into national security.

He, in a tweet, said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) tenure in government has been the worst by way of mismanaging economy and delivering poor governance.

Shehbaz added that never before have the citizens been this hopeless about their future and warned that all this has implications for national security.
