Islamabad:Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz has said Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership is misleading the common people by pursing a narrative, which has nothing to do with reality.
Talking to media here on Sunday, he said they have done nothing for the country, except pursuing anti-people policies. He said they signed expensive energy agreements with foreign companies, resulting in costly prices of electricity and gas.
The Minister said they deliberately ruined country’s economy to create hurdles in the way of the next government. He said we inherited current account deficit of 20 billion dollars and a debt of 30 trillion rupee and 2.9 trillion rupees were reserved in the budget to just pay interest of the loans taken by the previous regimes.
He said PML-N government wasted 23 billion dollars to artificially control dollar’s value. He said exports were zero, while imports were encouraged, which resulted in de-industrialization in the country. The Minister said now due to strenuous efforts of Prime Minister Imran Khan foreign exchange reserves have reached to 19 billion dollars and current account deficit reduced from 20 billion dollars to 80 million dollars.
