Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Sunday lashed out at the government for the plight of the farmers. Addressing a rally in Mianwali as part of the party's campaign for the local government elections, Imran said that the farmers were being subjected to 'economic murder'.
"Mian sahib is spending billions on metro buses and turning a blind eye to conditions of the farmers," he added.
He said that the government could not deceive masses again and again, as people had become aware of the truth. Imran said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government had not taken any concrete step to overcome the problems of farmers.
He said that farmers had always suffered when it comes to giving them relief.
He claimed that farmers in India were better off than their Pakistani counterparts and being provided with quality pesticides and fertilisers at cheaper rates.
Imran said that an economic murder of farmers was taking place and the prime minister was indifferent to the situation.
Criticising the government, PTI chief said that the PML-N had only made promises regarding the installation of Nandipur power project but no practical work had been seen in this regard.
