Previous govt dragged country into grey list, says Asad Umar

Federal Minister for Planning, Development, Reforms, and Special Initiatives Asad Umar said that the previous government dragged the country into a grey list.

Addressing the National Assembly (NA) today, he said that Pakistan Mulsim League – Nawaz (PML-N) had spoken against FATF and the country is moving towards financial stability.

He added that the voice of right can never be suppressed. The federal government will never be suppressed by the noise of opposition. Shehbaz Sharif has no nerve of listening as he left the parliament.

The one who used to say Asif Ali Zardari “Ali Baba and Forty Thieves” is preaching to us today. If these people had given back the country its money, the government would not have gone to IMF. he added.

He further said that billions of the amounts were transacted into the bank accounts of their salaried workers whereas Miftah Ismail mentioned that the economy is being devastated.

The opposition leader said that he wants to sign the Charter of Economy. His elder brother remained PM three times with which opposition did he sign the Charter of Economy? Four times PML-N and 7 times PPP have done agreements with IMF and when they had left the government no canals filled with milk and honey were flowing across the country.

These people had devastated the agriculture of the country. An increment of 47 percent was observed in IT exports, despite COVID-19 our economy increased to 4 percent.

In January the 4 percent of growth increased to 5 percent and the national economy is just to experience an increase of 27-28 percent soon.
