Shehbaz asks PM Imran to worry about worsening economy, not Opposition's meetings

Lahore: Prime Minister Imran Khan should worry about the country’s deteriorating economy rather than the Opposition’s meetings, Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz President Shahbaz Sharif said on Tuesday.

Talking to reporters in Lahore, he said the country’s economic situation had never been this worse before. 

"Throughout the history of this country, inflation has never been as high as it is now," he said, adding that no other government in the past had accepted such huge amounts of international loans.

Upon being asked by a journalist if the prime minister was worried about PML-N's political meetings, Shahbaz replied: “The prime minister should focus on the country’s inflation rate, unemployment and the catastrophic situation of the economy.”

Criticising the sugar and wheat scams, Leader of Opposition in the National Assembly said corruption worth billions of rupees was happening under the nose of the government.
