PML-N Policies Damaged The National Economy: Shibli Faraz

ISLAMABAD, Aug 24 (APP): Minister for Information and Broadcasting Senator Shibli Faraz on Monday said policies for economy introduced by Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the past, had adversely affected the national economy, rendering local industrial production unviable and making Pakistan an ‘importing country.’   

Addressing a press conference along with Minister for Industries and Production Hamad Azhar in response to Shahbaz Sharif's media talk, he said the masses had rejected the opposition parties in the general elections 2018 due to their corruption and lackluster performance.   

The minister said the past rulers destroyed different institutions of the country and now they were sitting on opposition benches, with the sole agenda to make money by all means.   

Shibli Faraz said they also minted money and got kickbacks apparently from power projects and today the public was compelled to use expensive electricity due to their corrupt practices and flawed policies.
