Pakistan Muslim League-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi on Tuesday said that PTI government has lost all faith and trust of its allies and challenged Prime Minister Imran Khan to win confidence vote. The opposition members protested against the government’s policies and budget on the Constitution Avenue. On this occasion, the members were holding anti-government placards in their hands.
Talking to media, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said that the opposition has rejected the budget and it is protesting in the streets in solidarity with the public.
The former Prime Minister said that in his 32 years in politics, never before has he heard such nonsense on the floor of the House. He also accused the Speaker of not remaining neutral in the National Assembly.
“Where is the government taking the country?” he asked. The economy is all but destroyed, commissions and committees have been ineffective in bringing sugar prices below Rs 90 per kg and petrol price increased by a record 34%.
The government is completely oblivious to the challenges at hand, he added. According to reports, members from all the opposition parties participated in the protest.
