Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) economic wizard Miftah Ismail on Saturday wondered why some Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders felt the repeated urge to glorify General Musharraf (Rtd.) regime. He said, "PTI leaders always highlight that foreign debt was rising slowly in Musharraf era but never mentioned the causes."
In his tweets, Miftah said that he would often see PTI leaders glorifying Musharraf regime but never saw them highlighting the fact that many western countries had written Pakistan's foreign debts off in that period in order to get Pakistan ready for the war on terror. Lashing out at PTI and Musharraf regime at the same time, Miftah said that the PTI leaders never talked about the economic price that Pakistan is still paying for the war that Musharraf had started. "Cost in money, lives and fraying of the fabric of society".
