PM Imran’s ouster is writing on the wall: Marriyum

Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PMLN) Secretary Information Marriyum Aurangzeb said Prime Minister Imran Khan’s ouster is writing on the wall despite his dream of gathering a million people at D-Chowk.

She addressed a press conference in Chak Shehzad on Monday. she was flanked by agriculturalists Riaz-ul-Haq Jutt and Rao Ajmal.

Marriyum said these threats of clogging the way of parliamentarians with mobs before the no-confidence motion in itself was equivalent to creating a setting for a disaster. But all this is immaterial because nothing could save Imran from being ousted from his illegal appointment as Prime Minister, she said.

She said the truth remains that PTI did not have the support of the majority of the house which was because of its disastrous policies that destroyed every sector of Pakistan. All the while adding Rs22,000 billion new loans, she told.

She rejected Imran’s claims of doing miracles in agriculture and said that the farmers were screaming for help because of Imran’s crushing policies, adding that the farmer was paying Rs5.35 per unit of electricity for tube-wells to water the crops but was now paying  Rs 17.86 per unit.

DAP fertilizer which was Rs 2650 per bag was now Rs 10,000 but not even available at this insane price, she said adding that Prince of Urea had jumped from Rs 1160 to Rs 2400. She said Imran not only stopped the Kisan package given by PMLN that launched Pakistan’s agriculture but in fact reversed it, destroying indigenous agriculture, she added.

Speaking on the occasion Riaz-ul-Haq Jutt said Pakistan’s total need was 30 million tons of wheat every year. In the international market what was being sold at $380 per metric ton and wheat production decreased because the government did not increase the support price accordingly, he maintained.

Rao Ajmal said the government’s repetitive and crushing tax regime made no sense and was choking the agriculture sector. He said cotton earns the most foreign exchange but the government was busy subsidizing and facilitating the sugarcane farmers.
