ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari on Monday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan is receiving donations from the entire world.
In a statement, he said the people of Pakistan are suffering from the horrible consequences of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) tabdeeli slogan.
“Today, foreign investors are not ready to come to Pakistan for business purposes,” he added.
He blamed the ineptitude and apathy of the “puppet prime minister” for the economic ruin.
“Prime Minister Imran Khan, it is time to rouse from your slumber and apathy. Every day, as many as twenty people are committing suicide due to economic hardships this government has put them under,” he added.
Bilawal asked how the federal government believed the people would be able to make both ends meet with the annual rate of inflation exceeding 14 percent.
“The cost of medicines has gone up 100 per cent, leaving people to choose between treatment and sustenance. The government rolls out amnesty schemes for the elite, whitening their ill-gotten gains, while the poor are told to be content with langar khanas that serve more as backdrops for the Prime Minister’s PR machine,” he went on to say.
He said that the people are unwilling to tolerate such back-crushing inflation and that the plans to raise Rs90 billion by increasing electricity rates would be the proverbial straw that breaks the camel’s back.
“Imran Khan keeps blaming corruption, but he himself is patronising and promoting people accused of monumental corruption. His anti-people policies and ideology have brought the country to the brink of absolute economic ruin,” he stated.
