LAHORE: Opposition leader in the Punjab Assembly, Hamza Shahbaz has said that the government is giving a wrong impression that opposition is looking for a National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO).
Talking to the media, Hamza Shahbaz said the government ministers were not just incompetent rather they speak lies as well.
While referring towards the Prime Minister Imran Khan, he asked him not to take “shelter” under the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
He claimed that peasants and labourers were all unhappy with the government measures. He said the economy’s growth rate had drastically declined after the PML-N government completed its tenure.
The PML-N leader said that dollar never surged to its historic high as did during the incumbent government’s tenure. Our country which is an atomic power is now being presented to the world as a begging country, he lamented.
Punjab’s opposition leader said at least 12,000 people have become unemployed in the automobile industry, but the government was not looking to address this problem.
He regretted that former Chief Minister Punjab Shahbaz Sharif was serving a jail term [in connection with the Aashiyana Housing Scheme scam]. He rebuked that the sister of PM Khan, Aleem Khan, had also got the ‘clean chit’ from the NAB.
He reiterated that the PML-N had no plan to topple the government.
