Govt confused on how to run the state affairs: Mazari
PTI leader says govt is so hell-bent on lying to nation
INPISLAMABAD - Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Central Information Secretary Dr Shireen Mazari has said that the government is totally confused on how to run the state affairs and to bring betterment in the economy.
In a statement issued here on Friday, Shireen Mazari pointed out that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif accused the PTI Azadi dharna of bringing down growth in the economy including the manufacturing sector while minister for finance along with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) experts were of the view that manufacturing grew in August 2014 as compared to August 2013. Again, the confusion prevails with regard to the private sector, she said.
She said that the government and IMF echo each other over the robust growth of Pakistan’s industrial private sector, the main trade and industry bodies like FPCCI and APTMA have a contrary view. APTMA has stated that 35 per cent of Pakistan’s textile industry has closed down. In fact it was this that has led the prime minister to practically cut off gas supplies to domestic users and divert all the gas to Punjab industries, she said.
She said that the government is so hell-bent on lying to the nation that it has got confused within its own lies and spins. The fact is that the economy is suffering because of bad policies, corruption and wasteful spending. It was unethical, she concluded, for the IMF to become partisan in the Pakistan Muslim League-N’s lies and subterfuge.
