Govt’s poverty elimination claim an empty slogan: Abbasi

Former PM says masses won’t get any relief under present regime

Sialkot-Former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has said claims of government to eliminate poverty and curb inflation will remain an empty slogan and masses will not get any relief under present regime.
The masses are already protesting massive increase in gas bills and are weary of government policies.
He said this during a meeting with Ch Ehsan Iqbal, former interior minister and Central General Secretary PML-N, Senator Kamran Michael, former minister for ports & shipping. Other PML-N leaders including Qamar Riaz Khan, coordinator PML-N European Union, Imran Liaqat Haqeeqa, Senior Vice President PML-N Italy, Mehar Ghazanfar also met Abbasi.
The leaders cordially welcomed the delegation headed by Qamar Riaz Khan and acclaimed the sacrifices of the overseas PML-N workers. Former interior minister Ahsan Iqbal said not a single allegation had been proved against Sharif Brothers. He added that mid-term election was not only a desire of the opposition but also of the masses of the country.
“Selected govt cannot run the country,” he claimed. “Tabdeli Sarkar has no agenda other than “I’ll spare nobody,” he said.
