Islamabad (March 22, 2018): Pakistan Tehreek Insaaf Chief Imran Khan said that PML Government has completely destroyed country’s economy.
Addressing a press conference in capital, the PTI chief criticised the government over the poor handling of the country’s economy.
“Nawaz’s government took record loans,” said Imran, adding that former finance minister Ishaq Dar mis-declared economic statistics to give an impression that the country’s economy was improving.

Imran tagged performance of Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s (PMLN) government ‘worst than Zardari’.
Khan claimed that everything had plummeted to new low after end of Musharraf’s era.
“Nawaz-led federal government borrowed loans worth Rs10000 billion in four years. Consumers will pay an additional Rs9 on every liter of petrol from now onwards”, deplored Khan while adding, “Owing to ineligibility of government and rampant corruption, the burden [of revenue] was shifted on masses. The biggest reason behind plummeting exports is high power tariff”.
He lamented that imports had soared to $54 billion while citing concerns over depleting forex reserves.
