“PTI govt. Has left people in a destitute condition”: Bilawal Bhutto

Bilawal NA session

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has on Friday said that it seems the government is playing the role of the Opposition instead of running the government.

While addressing the National Assembly (NA) session today, Bilawal said that both the budget and the budget session of the PTI-led government are “illegal.”

Criticizing Prime Minister Imran Khan famous rhetoric, Bilawal said, “Likening the country — which is being ruled by an “illegitimate government — to the state of Madina is not appropriate.”

Speaking about the budget recently presented by the PTI-led government, Bilawal said that the masses are aware of the fact that 4% growth is a lie.

“I think both this budget and the budget session are illegal,” he said.

“Every budget will be unconstitutional until the NFC award is given,” said Bilawal.

Shedding light on the growing inflation in the country, Bilawal said, “The PTI government has “abandoned people and left them in a destitute condition.”

He said that people will never forget the government for further pushing them below the poverty line.

“If the budget raises petrol, gas, and electricity prices, then every Pakistani has to bear the burden of the government’s incompetence,” said the PPP leader.

“The prime minister had promised to grant 10 million jobs to people, but on the contrary, even those who were previously employed have now been rendered jobless,” he said further.

Bilawal said that if the country has seen economic growth, as claimed by the PTI-led government, then why does it have to “beg before the International Monetary Fund (IMF)?”

“If the economy has significantly improved, then the government should immediately opt out of the IMF’s deal,” he said.

Shehbaz Sharif post-budget speech

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif, in his post-budget speech, on Thursday severely backlashed the incumbent Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) government over the “fake budgets”.

During his speech, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif said the PTI government had resulted in job losses for five million people.

Sharif has delivered his speech three days after the National Assembly session which was full of chaos with Govt and Opposition was under fire while accusing each other with continuous jeering.

He said, “In the last three years, many taxes were imposed by the PTI government because of which the poor man’s meals have been halved.”

“Hunger and hopelessness had been created in the country because of previous budgets,” Sharif said.

He further added that the Budget 2021-2022 would further boost inflation and the poor would suffer more.

“Twenty million people have fallen below the poverty line in these three years. Income has been reduced by 20 per cent. People are asking where are the 10.5m jobs [promised by the PTI]. As a result of these fake budgets, 5m people have lost their jobs.”

The PML-N leader further lambasting the Imran Khan-led government said, “They say we will create Naya Pakistan. It is obvious that the old Pakistan was better when the country was somehow made to progress.”

“You had pushed us against the wall even when we tried to help you during the stressful times of coronavirus,” he added.

Shehbaz Sharif further pointed out that there was a “lack of trust” among provinces and between the provinces and the federal government, claiming that “such differences have never been seen before.”

“If only Punjab progresses and the rest of Pakistan does not, then it is not progress,” he emphasized.
