ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek -e -Insaf (PTI) Information Secretary Sheikh Waqas Akram on Thursday allegedly accused the government for allegedly removing the rapidly growing economy from the track, with a short look for self -service and primarily for governance.
He criticized the Finance Minister, and dismissed him as an imported personality in which Pakistan has no truth in the future. He claimed that the Minister lacks both sympathy and vision to deal with the country’s struggle economy.
Talking to a news conference along with PTI members of the National Assembly (MNA) here, he said that the so -called Form -47 government talks about economic change, serious reality tells a different story.
“Families are being forced to sell their land and ancestral jewelry to afford mere migration,” he said.
He said that large -scale industries have been in decline for three consecutive years, with skilled labor continues to escape from the country due to a degraded and non -co -operative business environment.
Waqas rejected the expected growth data for large -scale manufacturing in the next financial year, and called them nothing but fabricated data and desire propaganda.
The emergence of skill was not just a figure, he emphasized and noted that this is a national tragedy. He added, “Our bright minds were withdrawing from their homeland because the government has failed to provide them here.”
He also strongly criticized the ‘imposed’ government for presenting fabricated and misleading data in the economic survey, and declared it nothing but a simple screen designed to hide its clear economic failures.
The truth on the ground paints a very sharp picture, claiming and stated that more than 3 million educated and skilled young people have been forced to leave the country in search of better opportunities. “This worrying mental tract, he emphasized, said,” The current government is a direct result of growing hopelessness, economic mismanagement and lack of possibilities. “
They revealed a disturbing figures, as the number of tractors sold – an essential indicator of agricultural health – has increased from 38,000 to only 24,000. He insisted that this sharp decline is a clear sign of the end of the agricultural sector.
Waqas emphasized that while Pakistan’s about 70 70 PCs relies on agriculture for its livelihood, the government has failed to release any reliable data of unemployment, and further exposes its disconnection with the strong facts facing ordinary citizens.
He said, “These oppressive people have pushed the country towards the brink of economic elimination. The people of Pakistan are losing hope. This government is not just incompetent – it is completely restless and disconnected by the suffering of the people.”
Waqas claimed that the government had lost all credibility and even added the media to the parts of the media who once supported them are now turning away. “After destroying a country, they have no place to hide, which was once on the path of development,” he said.
PTIMNA Rana Atif strongly condemned the government’s economic ‘mismanagement, manipulation of government data, and betraying public confidence’, challenging the authenticity of data presented in the federal budget and economic survey.
On this occasion, MNA Osama Ahmad Mela noted that even countries like Bangladesh, despite the bloody revolution, managed to achieve the economic growth of 4 PC. “Many African countries are also registering a higher growth rate than Pakistan,” he said, pointing to the gravity of the situation.
Referring to official data, the PTIMNA pointed out that the State Bank’s own website lists inflation at 10.5pc, which contradicts the government’s 4PC misleading claim. He added that Pakistan has now suffered a three -year negative growth, which is a sign of constant economic decline.
He alleged that “what Isaac Dar did through Figar Fijing is now being repeated by Aurangzeb.”
Another party legislator, MNA Chaudhry Mobin Arif Jat, questioned how the manufacturing sector would increase when the government failed to provide electricity subsidy in the federal budget.
