Secretary Information Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Marriyum Aurangzeb has said the PTI government should at least hang their heads in shame, if not more, over their confession of crushing Pakistan under Rs 11,610 billion loan over the past 16 months.
In a statement issued here on Saturday, Marriyum said Imran kept the people occupied with his chicken, egg and calf revolution while helping his cronies steal national wealth and stack up their treasures. "Imran has burdened the people of Pakistan beyond imagination and set the nation up for an era of financial misery and starvation," she said. Over its 71 years or existence, Pakistan had taken Rs 29,500 billion loans in total but this government stacked up more than one-third of the total money borrowed since the country came into being, she added.
"The average annual loan in Pakistan's history comes to about Rs 415 billion while under Imran's government it is now Rs 11,610 which is a 2216 percent increase. This is the reality of Imran's Naya Pakistan which is extremely indebted, insanely expensive, and alarmingly impoverished," she said.
She said PML-N did not take this much loan over its entire 5-year term and the money which was borrowed was used to build 17,000 kilometers of motorways, 12,000 megawatts of electricity, CPEC, the LNG terminal, Gwadar port and industrial zones and a number of metro mass transport services, whereas PTI has done nothing but snatched the last piece of food from people with inflation.
The PML-N central spokesperson said PML-N left a deficit of 6.2 percent. Their last year's deficit was 8.9 percent and this year is expected to be 9.5 percent to 10 percent.
The former information minister said Imran's sham austerity measures drama further plunged the country into debt while national growth and development has plunged to zero.-PR
