ISLAMABAD, April 30: Senior Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Khursheed Shah thinks that Prime Minister Imran Khan is being used as a shield only, sources reported on Tuesday.
Speaking to the media representatives during a press conference in Islamabad, he said, “Today, people are screaming but the budget is yet to come and then, people will scream.”
Khursheed Shah lashes out at PM over midterm polls statement
“This is the only government which made the amnesty scheme for the thieves. Now the people question it if the amnesty is only for the thieves.”
The PPP loyalist added, “We should not believe in power rather we should believe in unity. Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto (former prime minister of Pakistan) also had several technocrats in his government but this (Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf) government has done wonders.”
“Despite all the odds, the opposition will never want the people to scream and protest. The people of Pakistan should be free to speak. If the PPP took debts during its tenure then the centre must ask Hafiz Sheikh about it as he was also a part of the government at that time,” stressed the PPP leader.
Commenting on the economic condition of the country, Shah said, “The economy is struggling because the country is unstable.”
He insisted that the army must not come at the front despite the failure of the government. “It seems Imran Khan is being used as a shield only.”
Turning towards the military spokesperson announcement to bring madrassas into the mainstream, Shah said, “It would have been better if the statements about madrassas reforms and other issues were made by ministers. The army should refrain from interfering in such matters as such acts make institutions controversial.-Agencies
