Maryam says ‘some time’ needed to take country out of crisis

Govt 'strengthening foundation' of Pakistan; PML-N to provide relief 'once again'

LAHORE:

Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Vice President Maryam Nawaz, while responding to the public’s intense reaction against the rise in fuel prices, said that they were aware of the problems of the people, and while the situation would ultimately improve, it would take some time for the country to come out of the crisis.

Taking to the microblogging platform Twitter, the senior party leader said that the government was trying its best to provide relief to the people even during the most difficult economic conditions.

She said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was working hard to reduce load-shedding. She assured the people that God-willing, things would get better in the days to come.

Criticising the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government’s agreements with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the PML-N leader said that the “cruel agreements” of former prime minister Imran Khan’s term were costing the nation in the form of expensive petrol and electricity. She added that inflation had made the lives of people miserable during the past four years.

Maryam said that the government was strengthening the economic foundations of the country, and PML-N would once again provide relief to the people.

She also took the opportunity to slam the PTI’s protest against the rise in fuel prices, saying that not a single person responded to the former premier’s call.

She said that people have not only come to know about this “saboteur”, “fugitive” and “seditious” person, but they also know that if any party could take Pakistan out of the “devastation” imposed by Imran, it was PML-N.

She further said that it would take some, but Pakistan would get out of the crisis.
