The PPP stalwart said the country witnessed higher inflation than a year prior during the PTI's tenure, but they continue to blame previous governments and try to portray them as incompetent.

He claimed the PPP came across the worst economic crisis in the world's history but didn't let the citizens bear the brunt of the inflation.

Bilawal urged the federal government to reduce the rates of petroleum products in line with international prices.

The only way to overcome inflation is to oust Imran Khan from the power corrdidors, the PPP leader said.
