PTI held nation in chicken and egg trap: Haideri

JUI-F leader slams govt for depreciation of rupee and other crisis

QUETTA: Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) Secretary General Ghafoor Haider has said the incumbent government had pledged to bring mega projects in Pakistan within initial 100 days but they started with selling cows and ended on chicken and eggs.

“Instead of stabilising country’s economy, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government plunged the country into financial crisis. It indicates failure of the new federal government,” the JUI-F leader said while talking to reporters in Khuzdar on Friday.

Haideri said: “Instead of introducing new development projects, the PTI’s policies led to a decline in the rupee’s value putting the country’s future at stake while lucrative organisations are on the verge of being privatised”.



He also said the federal government has been distracting the nation over Saudi financial aid.

Prime Minister Imran Khan fooled the nation over getting $3 billion aid from the Saudi monarchy but the kingdom clearly told the government that the money is not meant for spending but for keeping in State Bank coffers for stabilising the country’s economy, Haider said.

“United Arab Emirates pledged $2.5 billion for Pakistan while we betrayed China and they imposed 8 per cent interest on their aid,” he said while calling the new government inefficient having no vision.

On the political vandalism, the JUI-F leader said incumbent government’s obduracy and impudent behaviour have destroyed the country’s politics.

Before announcing mega projects the government should keep in mind the rising inflation and debt in the country, he advised.

“PTI announced to sack thousands of employees from utility stores, which proved their false promises with the masses before the elections,” Haidri said, adding that no progress has been seen in last six months.
He added that if the incumbent government attempts to change country’s blasphemy law, then there would be a million march.
