PML-N dug its own grave by lying to people, says Khursheed Shah
Opposition leaders says midterm polls impossible till PM resigns, cannot be held on wishes of a few people
QUETTA:
Opposition Leader Khursheed Shah has said that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz government was facing countless challenges because it had lied to the people of Pakistan and failed to deliver on its promises.
Addressing a press conference in Quetta on Saturday, the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader said, “Governments always suffer and face serious challenges when they lie. The government is currently facing multiple challenges because it lied to its people. The politics of truth always get better results."
"Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif lied to the people of Pakistan about addressing the issue of power crisis and load shedding. It never happened nor does it seem to happen anytime soon,” he told reporters at the residence of PPP leader Sadiq Umrani.
Shah added that the premier should tell the truth and stop making impossible claims regarding electricity, inflation, law and order and economic prosperity.
Shah also said it was impossible to hold midterm elections until the prime minister resigns, adding that it was against democratic norms to hold elections on the wishes of a few people.
The opposition leader also alleged that the delay of the Chinese president's visit to Pakistan was a "planned conspiracy".
“Imran Khan was used to cancel the visit of the Chinese president. The world does not want a prosperous and peaceful Pakistan that is why conspiracies are being hatched against the country,” he said.
Furthermore, Shah added that his party stands for democracy, and said that the PPP has been struggling to achieve democracy in the country since the past five decades.
He also said that the PPP was the first to take initative regarding Balochistan’s issues.
“The PPP had created 5,000 jobs for the people of Balochistan. The PPP-led government tried to address the economic issues in the NFC award. We did not do a favour; it was our job,” he said.
Shah proclaimed that the people of Balochistan were angry and as a result, punished the PPP in the last general elections.
“Th PPP was punished because the people were angry in Balochistan,” he said.
The opposition leader also spoke of Imran Khan, saying that the PTI chief has not been able to prove a single corruption case against him.
