While talking to a private new channel, he said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government was responsible for Pakistan’s poor economy and inflation. He said that lack of jobs was due to PML-N’s poor policies.

PTI got the public mandate to form government and the same people would stand with the government through thick and thin adding that the PML-N leaders had lost the trust of the people as their credibility became dubious, he stated.

"Inflation, unemployment and energy crises were remained the biggest issues during the PML-N government as well, but they were busy in minting money and constructing roads rather than introducing projects to end these troubles," he added.
