ISLAMABAD, May 17: Prime Minister Special Advisor for Information and Broadcasting Firdous Ashiq Awan on Friday criticised former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for plunging country into economic crisis, the country currently passing through.
In her series of Tweets, she said “Sharif family badly injured country’s economy with their economic terrorism, how come they are now talking to contact masses.”
“Those who affected economy for past 30 years due to their wrongdoings, want masses to suffer more”, she said in her second Tweet.
Ousted prime minister Nawaz Sharif gave the go-ahead to his party’s leaders and supporters to launch an anti-government movement over rising inflation and devaluation of the rupee against the US dollar after Eidul Fitr, a day after former president Asif Zardari announced a similar movement against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government.
According to reports, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo gave the directions during a meeting with party leaders who called on him at the Kot Lakhpat Jail where he is serving a seven-year jail term in the Al-Azizia case.
Nawaz directed the PML-N leadership to convene a meeting to work out a strategy in this regard. Reports said that Nawaz Sharif will be given a briefing on the nature of the agitation drive by party leaders during their next meeting with him. PML-N stalwart and former premier Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has been tasked to convene meetings of the party’s central and provincial leadership. Talking to the party leaders, Sharif said the PML-N will no longer remain silent over soaring inflation. – DNA
