PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz Saturday said that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) told the coalition government that it does not trust Pakistan because of the wrongdoings of Imran Khan. Addressing party workers in the PP-167 constituency, Maryam termed the agreement signed with the Fund by Imran Khan a “bad deal”, adding that the former prime minister took a U-turn by breaching the clauses that Pakistan agreed with the global lender. Maryam lashed out at Imran Khan by saying that her opponents were thinking that she would not go in public after the government’s ‘difficult’ decisions to save the country from bankruptcy. She said that her opponents would be disappointed to see her between people, adding that inflation was not a new phenomenon, but it existed during the last four years as well. At the outset of her speech, Maryam claimed that PML-N supporters from a single constituency present in Green Town are more compared to the number of people attending Imran Khan’s “historic rally” on the Parade ground in Islamabad. Maryam said that the coalition government had to make some decisions with a heavy heart, including increasing the prices of petroleum products, because of the wrongdoings of Imran Khan. She further added that if Khan had left something in the reserves, the coalition government would have provided relief to the people. Maryam said that the existing problems were created by ‘Fitna’ Imran Khan but rescuing Pakistan from them was their priority. She said that the incumbent parties have a “responsibility” to take people out of the difficult times even though these problems were not created by them. She reiterated that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and PM Shehbaz Sharif will take the country out of the crisis by working hard. “We [coalition government-led by PML-N] will try to eliminate all issues created by ‘fitna’ Khan,” she assured the people. Addressing the people, Maryam said that she has come in front of the people to seek help and support for PML-N. “Fitna Khan tried hard to create a Sri Lanka-like situation in Pakistan; however, his plan did not succeed because the people had faith in the lion (PML-N),” she said. The PML-N leader accused the PTI chairman of looting the mandate of the people of Punjab by handing over the charge to his “puppet” Usman Buzdar. “Punjab is a province of over 120 million people and Farah Bibi – a close aide of former first lady Bushra Bibi – was imposed on the province,” she said.
