Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President and National Assembly Opposition Leader Shehbaz Sharif termed Prime Minister Imran Khan’s speech an admission of his defeat.
In a statement issued here on Sunday, Shehbaz said, “Imran did not come to fix the price of potato and tomato but to ruin the country and the people, which he did successfully and now its time for him to go home. Imran came to ensure the fall of Kashmir, CPEC, to increase Pakistan's 24 ranks in corruption, he has successfully done this destruction, but now it’s time for him to go home. He came to anger the friends of Pakistan in international arena, he has fulfilled that agenda, which is why he must go. Imran came to hand over Pakistan's economic sovereignty to the IMF, he fulfilled that agenda. He came to increase the value of the dollar from Rs 125 to Rs 180, which he did to ruin national economy, but now its time for him to pack his bags and leave”.
Shehbaz said with the help of the black money of Foreign Funding, he spread the filth of corruption and money-laundering, it was time to clean up this filth and this mess. He said Imran You have fulfilled the agenda of stopping 6% growth of Pakistan and raising the minimum 3% inflation to the highest 26% in history.
Illegal palace of Bani Gala regularization, schemes to make ‘Haraam’ (illegal) wealth ‘Halal’ (legal), in which he was completely successful. He came to increase the price of petrol from Rs 96 to Rs 160. Flour rose from Rs 35 to Rs 100, sugar from Rs 52 to Rs 130 per kg and electricity from Rs 11 to Rs 26 per unit. Shehbaz pointed out 100% increase in gas price, 500% increase in medicine price, ghee 140 to 440 rupees per kg and how Imran made Pakistan the third most expensive country in the world. The unimaginable inflation, unemployment, economic catastrophe and the moral destruction of the nation were the main achievements of Imran Khan, he said.
“Imran, your work is done, now go home and let the nation suffering from inflation, unemployment and economic catastrophe breathe a sigh of relief”, he said.
Shehbaz also pointed out that the Speaker of the National Assembly is the guardian of the House. This position requires him to be neutral and above party affiliation. Asad Qaiser has become biased because of his behavior and statements, his inclination towards PTI is clear. There is a big question mark over their character and reputation, he said.
