Terming inflation as a big challenge for the government, Shah Mahmood Qureshi said steps were being taken to reduce burden on common people by bringing down inflation. He made it clear that the rising prices of different commodities and petroleum products were because of Coronavirus.

Meanwhile, Finance Minister Shaukat Tarin, sharing statistics in a tweet, on Sunday said Pakistan had been ranked least costly country among 139 countries of the world.

On February 14, Qureshi had said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government would defeat the opposition’s no-confidence motion against Imran Khan.

Speaking at a media talk, the PTI leader had said that the opposition was divided on whether to go for a fresh election or not. “The Pakistan Peoples Party doesn’t want elections right now,” he had said. “By going to the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid they have buried their narrative of vote ko izzat do. Why did they go to our party allies who they believe came in power through rigged elections.”
