PML-N President and Opposition Leader Shahbaz Sharif said Saturday that the National Assembly approving a mini-budget would be national suicide.
According to the PML-N president, Pakistan’s economic sovereignty is in trouble, and the Opposition will devise a plan to halt the presentation of a mini-budget. “We will try making the government and its allies realise the detrimental effects of a mini-budget,” Shahbaz said, adding that the current government has become a threat to national security.
The PML-N president stated that presenting a mini-budget is similar to treating cancer with aspirin, emphasising that the government should not present the IMF-prepared mini-budget.
“A tsunami of change has engulfed the economy, jobs, and happiness of the people. They have not been able to get relief from the fall in oil prices in the world market,” stated Shahbaz.
Speaking about the economic relief programme, Shahbaz stated that it has had “no effect,” albeit that the prices of electricity, gas, and commodities had “increased further.” Mian Shehbaz Sharif said that joint opposition will formulate a strategy to opposition the government’s mini-budget.
Shehbaz Sharif, in a statement, said that passage of mini-budget from the National Assembly is synonymous to a national suicide. Tsunami of ‘tabdeli’ has swallowed economy, jobs and happiness of the public, he added.
Opposition Leader of National Assembly further said that incumbent government has become a threat to national security.
