ISLAMABAD – July 27 (ONLINE) Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif on Wednesday took a hard line at his main political rival and also his predecessor Imran Khan, saying that the PTI government had brought economic havoc to the country.
Addressing a parliament sitting on Wednesday, the Prime Minister also raised his concerns over Supreme Court of Pakistan’s verdict on Punjab Assembly Deputy Speaker’s ruling. “Once Churchill said, if the courts are working, nothing can go wrong,” Shehbaz Sharif quoted Winston Churchill, pointing towards flaws in Pakistan’s judicial system.
The Prime Minister announced maximum relief to the masses affected by rains in Balochistan and other parts of the country in his address. PM Shehbaz said that the coalition government was aware of the destruction caused by the rains and added that for this purpose, it has held meetings with all the provincial governments.
“The federal government has decided to increase the relief package for those affected by the rains,” the premier said, adding that a meeting will take place tomorrow to discuss the provision of relief to the people.
Talking about the 2018’s General Elections, PM Shehbaz said that those polls were the worst in the country’s history. “Those polls imposed a government through the process of rigging,” he added.
“The Results Transmission System (RTS) was closed at night and the counting of votes was stopped by the order of the former chief justice,” he added.
PM Shehbaz berated the PTI-led government and said it took loans of more than Rs20,000 billion in three-and-a-half years, adding that millions of people lost their jobs and became homeless during the PTI’s tenure.
