ISLAMABAD, May 13 (APP): Holding former prime minister Imran Khan for present economic catastrophe and US dollar's unprecedented flight against rupee, Minister for Information and Broadcasting  Marriyum Aurangzeb said on Friday that  the PTI regime  plunged the country in the quagmire of problems.

Giving her reaction to the statement of PTI leader Chaudhry Fawad
Hussain, she said that Imran was squarely responsible for the US dollar’s historic flight against the Pakistani rupee.

The minister said that Imran Khan had signed the agreement with
International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the people of Pakistan were
facing high inflation as its result.

The minister said that the people faced “economic terrorism” in the country
due to inefficient and competent Imran government and cartels and
mafia raj for nearly four years.

Today the economic instability in the country was the outcome of
Imran’s policies, she said adding that in the case of petroleum, the
former PM had done irreparable damage to the economy only to divert attention from his failed politics.

“Imran sahib is responsible for difficult decisions being taken now”,
she said and added that the PTI chairman had (once again) climbed on
the container to cover up his anti-people economic crimes.

She reminded Imran Khan that putting the country’s economy and
people’s future at stake for political purposes was tantamount to
treason.

Marriyum said that it was ironic that PTI regime’s incompetence and bad
economic policies were the reason behind the inflation being faced
by the people, but now they were making the noise about inflation.

She advised Imran Khan that instead of making hue and cry, he should
hold himself accountable for inflation and economic crisis.

Four years of incapable, inefficient and incompetent rule accompanied
by cartels and mafias carried out economic terrorism against the
people.
