Shehbaz Sharif's tweet
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President and Opposition leader in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif has once against asked Prime Minister Imran Khan to step down if he can’t control rising inflation thus providing instant relief to the nation, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
PML-N leader Shehbaz posted a tweet on Saturday saying: “If Imran Khan is unable to control the rising prices of flour, sugar, medicines, electricity, gas and petrol; and if he can’t handle economy and inflation then he should write down his resignation to provide an instant relief to the nation. After hiking prices of sugar, anther increase in the rates of petrol and electricity is tantamount to a bombardment of inflation. This tyrannical government cannot be allowed to run.”
آٹا، چینی، گھی، دوائی، بجلی، گیس، پٹرول، معیشت، مہنگائی پر بس نہیں چل رہا تو استعفیٰ دینا عمران خان کے بس میں ہے؛ استعفی لکھ کر عوام کو فوری ریلیف دیں۔ چینی کے بعد پٹرول اور اس پر بجلی کی قیمتوں میں ایک اور اضافہ عوام پر مہنگائی کی بمباری ہے۔ ظلم کی یہ حکومت نہیں چل سکتی۔

Unfortunately, everyday dawns with horrible news for the people. This incompetent/corrupt PTI govt & Pakistan can't go together!”
