ISLAMABAD: Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb has said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has given relief in a matter of two weeks to the masses hit hard by the inflation of the last four years.
In a series of tweets on Thursday, she said there were no longer queues of mothers, sisters and daughters outside the utility stores in the holy month of Ramadan for the purchase of one kilogram of sugar. She said the people today are getting cheap flour, sugar and ghee. She pointed out that the prices of these essential items were at a record level during the era of Imran Khan.
Criticizing the policies of previous government, Marriyum Aurangzeb said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is trying to save the people as much as possible from the burden of incompetence and loot of Imran Khan. The Information Minister said business partnerships are now being forged with the brotherly countries of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) for the country’s development.
