RAWALPINDI, Jun 18 (NNI): Castigating Finance Minister Ishaq Dar, Awami Muslim League chief and former federal interior minister Sheikh Rashid Ahmed has said that only Sharif family is happy with his economic policies.
Taking to Twitter on Sunday, he wrote that economic experts have rated Dar as the most incompetent finance minister of the country. The Sharifs have appointed him; the family has distributed all offices within the family, he added.
He said that Dar has ruined the economy.
PM Shehbaz defended Dar and said whoever tried to pull him down, he would punish him, he said.
Rashid wrote on the social media website that whether a technocrat or a democrat [government], there is no option [to stabilise economy] but the IMF. It would be clear whether the country would default or survive by June 30. If the economy sank, the country would sink.
“There is a disparity between the speeches of the prime minister and the finance minister on the budget. Political instability will bring destruction and ruin,” he added.
The former federal minister said that there is a ditch ahead and a pit behind for the incoming government. Plan B is unknown. It is not an easy task to predict how the political crisis is shaping up.
Bilawal said that they [the PPP] would win next elections the same way they won [election of mayor] in Karachi. He remembered the aid [promised to Sindh] a year after devastating floods, Rashid continued. NNI
