Says people probing Sharif’s family corruption die mysteriously
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Central Secretary Information Farrukh Habib came down hard on the imported government and said that the miseries and hardship of the inflation-stricken masses compounded manifolds since they seized the power. Addressing a press conference here on Sunday, Farrukh Habib said that the imported government was clueless and directionless, as they didn’t have any idea what to do.
Farrukh said that the economic was nosedived and commodities prices skyrocketed, besides carrying out unprecedented power and Sui gas load shedding, making life of the countrymen miserable, as 40% of population were living below poverty line. He said that a mini budget was presented before the annual budget by increasing petrol price by Rs 60 and per unit power up to Rs 6 per unit only to please IMF, hinting that the petroleum price would shoot up to Rs. 275 per liter in next few days.
Farrukh Habib alarmed that the anti-public steps being taken by the imported government would cause massive price hike in the country. He went on to say that there was a record of 4.5 percent agriculture production and exports were increased exceptionally, which was stagnant during 2013-18, despite the challenge of coronavirus.
He stated that the production would negatively impact due to the high price of fertilizer, which the farmers can’t afford, adding that the imported government was eyeing to further jack up diesel price by Rs 90 to Rs. 100. Farrukh Habib said that the Russian Consul General has repeatedly called for talks with Pakistan to secure cheap oil; however, the government was reluctant to take forward the talks initiated by PTI to ensure securing cheap oil, fearing it might annoy their masters.—INP
