People facing inflation, unemployment due to Imran Khan’s flawed policies: PM Shehbaz

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif criticized former premier and PTI Chairperson Imran Khan for his flawed policies, saying that people were facing inflation and unemployment because of the incompetence of the PTI-led government.

“Multan, Sukkur and Hazara Motorways are the mega projects, which were completed during Nawaz Sharif regime,” the premier said while addressing a public gathering in Mansehra on Sunday.

He reaffirmed his commitment to utilize all the available resources to make the country prosperous.

The prime minister said the coalition government increased fuel prices with a heavy heart, adding that they were forced to do so because of the wrong decisions and agreements of the previous government.

He said the government has set the flour price at Rs400 per 10kg at all utility stores across the country.

Lashing out at Khan, the prime minister said he did not deliver on his promise of five million homes during his tenure.

“We have to cushion the inflation’s effect on people,” the premier said adding that the government has announced a twenty-eight billion rupees subsidy package for the poor people of the country.

The premier said that efforts will be made to remodel Khyber Pakhtunkhwa on the pattern of Punjab.

He said that laptops will be provided to the position holders students in the upcoming budget.

He announced the establishment of a medical college, a special grant of one-billion rupees for the development of Mansehra and the setting up of Hazara Electric Supply Company.

Earlier the Prime Minister inaugurated various development projects in the area.
