Former chairperson of the Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) Marvi Memon on Friday questioned the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership if they had ever obtained the parliament’s approval for deals struck with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) during their tenures in government.
“Bit amused. Did we as pmln ever get imf deals approved by parliament before signing,” she tweeted.
The former legislator found it ‘funny’ as the opposition demanded the government to seek parliament’s approval for IMF deal for a bailout package.

She suggested that ‘someone’ should teach Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari a lesson regarding economic negotiations. She said, “Can someone teach @BBhuttoZardari 101 on economic negotiations.”
Marvi was of the view that the last finance minister was the favourite one of N-League and now the current finance minister was a favourite one of Shehbaz Sharif.
She questioned, “Why would PTI [Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-led government] agree to it if they thought they were thieves?”
In another tweet, Marvi Memon surprisingly backed hike in prices of sugar.
She said that the decision to increase hiking up sugar rates ‘is great’ as ‘sugar equals cancer’. Memon suggested that an individual will be more healthy as less he would consume sugar.
And as far as sugar prices r concerned it’s great they r goin up bec any doc wil tel u sugar equals cancer. Less we hav as country more healthy we wil b -harsh as it sounds it’s true.

On May 7, the disgruntled PML-N leader had advised party leaders and workers to initiate ‘Jail Bharo’ movement in order to express their love and affection to the party supremo.
Taking a jibe at PML-N in her tweet, she said PML-N is nothing and carrying out politics of mummy daddy tweets.
Addressing the party workers in her tweet, Ms Memon said those who are claiming to sacrifice their lives for the former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, why hesitating from initiating ‘Jail Bharo Tehreek’?
