Shehbaz Sharif terms govt relief package as 'bundle of lies'

In a statement, the PML-N leader rejected the relief package announced by the premier and asked how can we control inflation with increasing prices of petrol, gas, and electricity.

He said that the conditions imposed by International Monetary Fund (IMF) have badly affected the people of Pakistan.

The reaction came after  PM Imran Khan said that the price of petrol in Pakistan is low, the prices of petrol will have to be increased further otherwise the deficit will increase.

Addressing the nation on Ehsaas Ration Program, the prime minister said that he is really grateful for the support of a friendly country as it helped to manage the stability of the Pakistani rupee.

The premier said the package would be "the biggest welfare program in Pakistan s history", which he said would take the country towards becoming a welfare state.
