Chairman Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government realised its flawed economic policies after nine months by removing Finance Minister Asad Umar.
"I congratulate Pakistanis as they have demanded the PTI government to review its economic policies. The people of Pakistan have drowned in the tsunami of inflation and price hike. There was no direction of economic policies of the government," he expressed these views while talking to media after chairing the meeting of National Assembly Standing Committee on Human Rights at the Parliament House on Thursday.
The PPP chairman said that PTI government did not try to build consensus on economic policies. "At least after nine months, the PTI accepted that its economic policies were flawed. It realised that its economic policies are not giving relief to the people," he said.
Bilawal said, "The PTI government may have realised that its negotiations with International Monitory Fund (IMF) are not right. Imean Khan may not be pleased with Asad Umar. I hope economic situation would improve after Umar's resignation."
"We [PPP] hope that other ministers who have affiliation with banned outfits would also be removed," he said. Meanwhile, Senator Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, the spokesperson for PPP Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, congratulated the people of Pakistan for, what he called, "a wicket lost to the PTI on demand of the PPP."
"PTI's more wickets will fall soon," he stated. "The whole team of the PTI will walk dejectedly back to the pavilion well before 50 overs," he added. He claimed that Prime Minister Imran Khan has pushed the country towards worst crisis. "Following economic crisis, the country has been hit with governance crisis. Selected Prime Minister controls neither foreign affairs nor economy," he said.
