ISLAMABAD: Former Interior Minister Sheikh Rashid on Monday said that Shehbaz Sharif-led government is supported by crutches and they are going to fall soon.
Talking to media here, Rashid said that the people of Pakistan are in worst condition ever because of the shortages of electricity, water, gas and ghee. “Everyone is trying to get rid of the current government,” adding, “China is giving aid to Pakistan because of the Pakistan Army.”
While addressing the current government he said, “No one is ready to give you a single dollar.” Earlier, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Murad Saeed along with others called out the government. Murad said that Gilgit Baltistan is the gateway of CPEC and the government has deducted 50 percent budget of the province and it can damage the progress of the area. On the other hand, GB Chief Minister Kahlid Khurshid claimed that WAPDA is not proving a single MW electricity to the province despite being the tax free zone. While PTI leader Ameen Gandapur said that no one can end PTI government in Gilgit Baltistan
