Govt spokesman said country’s financial situation in dire straits: Khaqan Abbasi

F.P. Report

ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said on Thursday that the government spokesman on economy Farrukh Saleem had even said that the financial situation of the country is in dire straits.

The former prime minister was holding a press conference along with other PML-N leaders, where he said that the government spokesman himself acknowledged that the government has failed in solving its financial matters.

Abbasi said that Saleem made some concerning comments regarding the government’s capacity to solve economic issues and it is also the reason it is taking additional loans.

“Should we trust the government’s spokesman or the other ministers,” he said.

The government has increased the rate of dollar but the exports have fallen, said Abbasi, adding that these concerning times were never before witnessed in Pakistan.

“Imran Khan always forgets that he is a prime minister,” said the PML-N leader.

While speaking about federal minister Faisal Vawda and the fiasco that ensued a day ago when journalists boycotted his press conference, Abbasi said: “Vawda is no one’s servant but of public.”

The former prime minister said that the opposition is united over fundamental issues.
