Shehbaz asks PM Imran to focus on deteriorating economy

LAHORE: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif on Tuesday said that Prime Minister Imran Khan should focus on the country’s inflation rate, unemployment and the catastrophic situation of the economy instead of focussing on the opposition parties' meetings.

Talking to the media persons, the opposition leader advised the prime minister to worry about the country’s deteriorating economy rather than the opposition’s meetings, adding that the country’s economic situation has never been so worse before.

"Throughout the history of this country, inflation has never been as high as it is now," he said, adding that no other government in the past had accepted such huge amounts of international loans.

He also criticised the sugar and wheat scams, saying that "corruption worth billions of rupees is happening under the nose of the government."
