Imran Khan government’s legacy unabashed corruption: Bilawal Bhutto

Islamabad: Chairman Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, has said that the legacy of Imran Khan’s government would be unfettered and unabashed corruption and incompetence. 

The unprecedented massive corruption, he said, was the root cause of Pakistan’s decimated economy.

In a statement, Chairman PPP Bilawal Bhutto Zardari said that any nation plagued with a corrupt ruler would never be able to stabilise the economy.

“This a government of the elite, by the elite, and for the elite. They are busy minting money, while the masses have been crushed under the burden of skyrocketing prices of essential commodities.”

He said that PM Imran Khan, was solely responsible for the economic disaster in the country, and despite all his efforts to scapegoat his ministers and advisors, he would not be allowed to escape accountability for his actions.

Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, demanded the PM to explain where the billions of rupees the government had accumulated from levy and taxes on gas and electricity had gone.  Have the government and its myriad ministers pilfered from the national exchequer?

“As custodian of the national exchequer, the PM is responsible for the public’s wealth. The buck stops with the PM, and he will have to answer for every paisa.”

The PTI-led federal government first increased taxes to generate more revenue and then this revenue was being siphoned off by the crony capitalists and ministers from public welfare projects. The federal government and the Prime Minister have lost all credibility in the eyes of the people, he added. International institutions that monitor corruption have fully exposed the so-called transparency and honesty of Imran Khan and his government. To add to the farce that is this PTI led government, Imran Khans own party members have questioned his capability to govern fairly and honestly.

“A liar who has clung to the corridors of power through back room deals and false promises can never be trusted, nor he can be sincere to the people of the country. Imran Khan’s mandate doesn’t come from the people, so he doesn’t serve them. Only true representative of the will of people would be able to rescue Pakistan from the quagmire this government has sunk us in.”
