Author: Agencies

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi has said the government was pursuing the agenda of elimination of poor rather than poverty.

Talking to the PTI delegation headed by Chaudhry Miraj Gujjar, he said that the government provided relief to the elite class and multiplied the miseries of  middle class by scaling up the prices of the commodities of daily use, he said.

He said that the federal budget was tantamount to drone attacks on poor people. The PTI is going to launch forceful movement against the rulers just after Ramazan and the supporters of PTI should get ready as the party chief may give a call anytime, he said.

He further said that the issue of Panama leaks is not over yet and the corrupt leaders will be brought to book at any cost. Moreover, the joint opposition will not step back from its terms of references.
