Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Shehbaz Sharif has called out the government on it's position on the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) project by saying that "it is the same as the nation's enemies".
Shehbaz made the comments in his media talk outside the parliament on Monday, according to Express News.
'First the government announced that they would increase gas prices, but now we are hearing that they are backtracking on this, what are they trying to prove with this indecision," he said.

The PML-N leader also spoke out on Twitter against the government by saying, "Pakistanis are shocked at the irresponsibility of the PTI government, which is trying to undermine Pakistan-China strategic partnership".
He added that the government is speaking in the voice of our enemies on CPEC.
Shehbaz said that the opposition would not allow such conspiracies to take root against the all weather Pak-China friendship.
