Islamabad: On one hand, the people of Pakistan are suffering from misery and inflation, while on the other hand, the political atmosphere of the country also seems to be changing. Pakistan President Asif Ali Zardari criticized the Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif government for being dependent on IMF agreements and loans and said that he will not leave the people on their own. He said, “We know how governments are formed and toppled.” He promised that the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will take decisive action.
President Zardari said something big
In July 2023, the International Monetary Fund approved an agreement to give Pakistan a loan of three billion US dollars. Earlier this week, Finance Minister Mohammad Aurangzeb warned that if Pakistan did not increase tax revenue, it would continue to need to take loans from the IMF. In a report published in the Express Tribune, Zardari was quoted as saying, “IMF loan is a test for the people. We know how governments are formed and toppled.
PPP leaders complained
On Wednesday, leaders of the Pakistan Peoples Party from Punjab met President Zardari in Lahore. In this meeting, the leaders expressed their displeasure to the President about the central and state governments. In the meeting, PPP leaders complained that the rights of the party are being snatched away. The central and Punjab governments are not helping the party. Even the elected leaders are not able to get work done in their areas. The leaders said that we have also been elected by the people by giving votes, we have to complete the work of the people of our area, we have to satisfy the voters. On this, President Zardari assured that the problems of the party leaders will be solved soon. After this, a big statement of President Zardari has come to light.
