The bone-crunching inflation by this government was unbearable for the nation and this step was the only way to provide relief to the people. The inflation was caused by the disastrous government’s policies and decisions that was why its removal was the first step towards betterment.

“It is imperative to remove the landmines dug into the very foundations of the national economy and interest by this catastrophic government,” Shehbaz said.

Imran must consider that the nation pay the price for such wrong decisions by such leaders, by the end of the day, he warned.
