“The poor masses have been suffering for eight years due to anti-people policies of Imran Khan’s government (and the previous Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz),” she said in a statement. Shazia Marri, while slamming the government, said that the government had been deprived the people of their jobs and employment opportunities had also been closed for the youth for eight years. “The PPP leadership provided jobs to the youth. The PPP is the only party which creates job opportunities for the people and this incompetent government has also impoverished the middle class due to bad economic policies,” she said.
