On Tuesday, Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly (NA) and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif has denounced government’s anti-people policies, saying that PTI’s government has given nothing but inflation, poverty and unemployment to the masses, Daily Times reported. “The incumbent government has been taking revenge from the people for the last three years,” he said, adding even those who had hoped that the government would deliver on its promises were also feeling disillusioned now. “There has been no change for the better in the last three years,” Shehbaz said, and asked, “Is this what you call ‘change’ that the Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) has stopped the gas supply to industrial units from today?” He expressed the fear that the stoppage of gas supply would render millions of people jobless. “Is this what you call ‘change’?” he questioned again. PML-N president said that ghee was being sold in the country for Rs450 per kilo. “If that is ‘change’, May Allah (The Almighty) save us from that,” he said, and added it was a pity that the poor people had been left at the mercy of inflation. The State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), Shehbaz went on to add, was going to increase the interest rate one more time. “Is that what you call ‘change’?” he questioned. Opposition leader in the NA asked, “Does it make any sense that the loan which was easily available at 10.2 per cent interest rate was borrowed at 11.5 per cent interest rate. And thus loss of Rs700 million was caused to the national exchequer?” PML-N president alleged that cement licenses were being sold openly in Punjab. “Pakistan is now the world’s third most expensive country,” he said, and again asked, “Is this what you call ‘change’?” Similarly, he claimed, inflation in the country was double than that of India, while Pakistan was the most expensive country in South Asia. Likewise, he added, the export of fish from the country had plummeted. “Residents of Gwadar are not happy with the government and have stood up for their rights. Is this what you call ‘change’?” he questioned.
