Government adds Rs 733 billion to circular debt in 18 months: Marriyum

10 Mar, 2020

She said that average increase in circular debt was Rs41.5 billion per month.

Aurangzeb said that there was 19 hours of loadshedding per day in the country when the PML-N came into power in 2013. She said that Prime Minister Imran Khan was not telling the truth to the nation during his speeches.

The PML-N leader said that the prime minister claimed in his speech on Monday in the tribal districts that the previous PML-N government was responsible for high price of electricity.

She said, "There is no link of cost of price of electricity with the cost of production of power". The PML-N leader claimed that the PTI government had increased 70 percent price in electricity bills.

"The PTI government wants to deviate the attention of the people from the issues of inflation, and sugar and flour crises by doing politics on the health of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif. This government is incompetent and corrupt and has failed to provide relief to the people," she said.

Aurangzeb also claimed that today, Prime Minister Imran Khan was inaugurating those projects which had been initiated by the PML-N government. She said that the prime minister had taken u-turns on those commitments, which he had made with the nation.

The PML-N leader said that the prime minister had promised that he would commit suicide but would not borrow from the IMF. "He also promised to give 10 million jobs to the people but one million people have lost their jobs under his government. Imran Khan also promised to give five million houses to the people but his government is destroying their homes," she said.

The PML-N spokesperson said, "Today, an inquiry report on the crises of sugar and flour in the country is lying on the table of the prime minister but it is not being made public. The people who are responsible for this crisis are sitting to the left and right of the prime minister but he is not taking any action against them," she said.
