Country be saved from Imran’s economic experiments: Bilawal

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari criticised PTI’s economic policies and said that Prime Minister Imran Khan be held accountable for the false promises he made to the public during elections and lack of concern for the common man as PTI’s failed economic policies damaging the future of Pakistan.

“The puppet Prime Minister, who vowed for a change in 90 days, is now fooling the people once again by announcing to solve the country's problems in the next government. What a cruel joke he is playing on the nation,” he said while criticising the economic policies of the PTI through a statement on Monday.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari questioned that does the prime minister think we have forgotten the claims he made regarding job creation. “Imran Khan gave his word and promised our people 10 million jobs but when he came to power, he did the opposite - he snatched away jobs from the people,” he said. He said if the direction of the country's economy is to be corrected, we must save the country from future experiments like Imran Khan.

Highlighting the prime minister's inexcusable decisions during his tenure, Bilawal pointed out that inflation was imposed on 200 million people of Pakistan and this was done just so the reigning government and the prime minister’s cronies can benefit from the underprivileged fruits of labour. “The countrymen are not blind and they can see how PTI has created economic policies that are leading the rich to get richer, while the poor are getting poorer,” he said.

He said due to the anti-people policies of the prime minister, even the middle class of the country has fallen into poverty. “Imran Khan's big claims of economic development have collapsed,” he said.
