ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) vice president Maryam Nawaz on Thursday said that the government is working day and night to improve economic situation of the country.
Talking to media persons, Maryam said blamed previous government for the prolonged power outages and said that Nawaz Sharif gave Imran Khan a loadshedding free Pakistan in 2018, but the government of Imran Khan was so incompetent that it could not even run the already established factories, adding that the duration of loadshedding would be reduced further.
“We will work hard. God willing! We will take the country towards betterment,” she added. “In June-July, at least 5,000 megawatts of electricity will be added to the power system,” she declared.
She again directed her criticism at PTI chief Imran Khan and said: “Your own people say Imran Khan is a crazy person. Commenting on the rise in petrol prices, she said: “If petrol becomes expensive, we are also paying Rs2,000 per month to the people.” She also declared that Farah Gogi would be held accountable first.
She said that the prime minister’s statement of selling own clothes to provide cheap flour to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was ridiculed. “But, this promise of the prime minister has been fulfilled within days. Today, cheap flour is being provided to the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa by the prime minister at a time when the chief minister of the province is busy serving Imran Khan.”
The PML-N vice president also expressed her grief over the demise of Dr Aamir Liaquat. She prayed to Allah Almighty to grant forgiveness to Aamir Liaquat and elevate his ranks in the afterlife.
Reacting to a statement of former Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid about Imran Khan having prior knowledge of the no-confidence motion against him, PML-N vice president said that if former premier knew about the motion why did he made false claims of foreign conspiracy behind his ouster.
