ISLAMABAD, Pakistan – On Sunday, Prime Minister Imran Khan told the public at the Aap Ka Wazir-e-Azam – Ap Kay Saath programme that he did not see President Shehbaz Sharif of the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) as a leader of the opposition, but rather as a national criminal.
He went on to say that inflation is a global issue, not only in Pakistan. Those who advocate for the National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) make a lot of noise in Parliament and refuse to let me speak. As a result, I attempt to arrange sessions and connect with individuals from all across the country once a month.
Prime Minister Imran Khan stated that “we have nothing to do with the robbers” and that “every month I wanted to answer in front of the nation.” In theory, questions should be addressed in Parliament, but opposition members make a racket and prevent me from speaking. Our manifesto is the Islamic welfare state. The country was on the edge of default when it came to power.
During the reign of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI), Prime Minister Imran Khan claimed that poverty has decreased. The income of farmers climbed by 73%, while the GDP increased by 5.37 percent.
In response to a query on the rising prices, the prime minister stated that inflation is a global issue, not simply a problem in Pakistan. Corona has had a significant impact on the global economy. Unfortunately, we have a $20 billion current account deficit.
Imported goods have grown more expensive due to the rupee’s devaluation. During Corona, the nation spent Rs 8 billion on the people.
Corona arrived after the country’s issues were resolved, and it mostly impacted the salaried class. Corona has thrown the world into chaos.
He went on to say that the problem of inflation will be solved very soon. In Pakistan, I will collect Rs 8,000 billion in taxes. Palm oil has become prohibitively costly across the world.
PM Imran Khan has stated that the salaried class is in difficulties, and that he will contact industrialists to request that their pay be increased. People have been granted Rs 40 billion to build houses. The government has eased barriers to development, resulting in the construction of 3 million homes. Cotton, sugarcane, maize, rice, and wheat output have all reached new heights.
During a show called “Aap Ka Wazir-e-Azam – Aap Kay Saath” earlier today, Prime Minister Imran Khan began taking direct phone calls from the common population.
According to reports, the Prime Minister was listening to people’s grievances and comments while informing them about various government programmes.
The Prime Minister’s phone number is 051-9224900, and anybody can reach him there.
Prime Minister Imran Khan has hosted four public sessions thus far, during which he has answered 86 questions from the people.
