Senior Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Senator Asif Kirmani on Saturday alleged that Finance Minister Asad Umar is wreaking havoc on the country's economy and also feared a tsunami of price hike in days to come. In a statement, the PML-N senator also claimed that the days of PTI government are numbered and it will collapse in a few months. He accused the government of pursuing anti-people policies, saying that the PTI government is embarked on making the masses poorer.
He feared that another tsunami of price hike is coming in next few months while the government has already increased the gas prices. "The increase in gas prices is injustice with the masses and the government should immediately reverse the prices so that the poverty-stricken people may get some relief," he demanded.
He further alleged that the government is pushing back the masses to the Stone Age, adding that the proposed increase in power tariff will further add to the miseries of the masses.
