ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leadership lambasted the inapt imported government for bringing a booming economy to its knees, which they said could be judged from the fast depleting of foreign exchange reserves, alarming plunge in cement sales and shutting down of hundreds of industries indefinitely.
The PTI Central Secretary General Asad Umar said that the hemorrhage continued unabated, as foreign reserves witnessed $245 million drop last week, downing to $ 5576 million only.
He said that regime change continued to bleed Pakistan. Asad Umar raised question as who would be held accountable.
PTI Additional Secretary General Omar Ayub expressed alarm over the massive plunge in the cement sales. He said that cement sales were plunged by 20.73% in July-December 22 vs July-December 21.
Omar Ayub stated that this was due to the imported government’s inaptitude in handling the economy, causing widespread drop in production, high inflation and rising unemployment. He went on to say that the imported rulers were meanwhile busy in increasing the incompetent cabinet size instead of the fixing the fast sinking economy of the country.
Lashing out the imported government flawed economic policies, PTI General Secretary Central Punjab Hammad Azhar said that during 2019, Indus motor company shut one of its shift for 20 days. However, he said that The News/Geo group flashed it like it was biggest news of the year. He revealed: “Right now hundreds of industries have shut down for an indefinite period including Millat Tractors today but many media groups playing it down.”
