Ahsan slams PTI government for 'economic mismanagement'

Slamming the 'economic mismanagement' on the part of PTI-led government, PML-N senior leader and former interior minister Ahsan Iqbal on Saturday said that the PTI government had been exposed on economic front.
"National security is linked with the economy and there are serious threats to national security with the presence of this government," he said while talking to media after a party meeting here at the PML-N Secretariat Model Town on Saturday. PML-N Lahore President Mohammad Pervaiz Malik and secretary general Khawaja Imran Nazir and a large number of party activists were present on the occasion.
Ahsan Iqbal said the incumbent government has created the highest ever deficit in the country's history. He said inefficiency and political victimization of the opponents at the hands of incumbent government has totally exposed and the people are looking towards for the PML-N for salvation.
Criticising the PTI government for running its affairs in fascist manner, the PML-N leader said they would strive for mid-term polls in 2020 and instructions have been issued for preparations in this regard. Had the PTI government remained in power for further one year, the country would push towards serious situation.
To a question, the PML-N leader said a meeting of the heads of opposition parties will be held soon in which decision would be taken for launching a movement against the government.
Answering another question, he said, the PML-N leaders were not behind bars, if there is any truth in news of a deal. The PML-N is practicing politics of resistance and that was the reason its leaders were behind bar.
Expressing complete solidarity with the Kashmiris, Ahsan said the PML-N was the first party which took the case of Kashmir in the parliament while the incumbent government is not doing serious diplomacy for the cause of Kashmiris. He said there should be OIC summit apart from serious diplomacy. The PM should visit different countries around the globe to press India to lift curfew from occupied Kashmir. He urged the US, UK and other countries to play their role for lifting curfew from the occupied Kashmir.
