Country becoming poor because of corruption: Shehbaz Sharif

Lahore: Leader of Opposition in National Assembly and Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) President Shehbaz Sharif on Saturday asked the people to join the Mehngai Mukao March (end inflation march) of the opposition against the government.

In a statement, Shehbaz Sharif asked the masses to get out of their houses and join PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz and Leader of Opposition in Punjab Assembly Hamza Shahbaz to get rid of inflation and the oppressive government.

He said inflation, corruption and incompetence were realities and the people should come out against those realities.

“Remember, you and your children are becoming poor because of the corruption. This government has made your life a hell through oppression of inflation,” he said.

Referring to Prime Minister Imran Khan, the PML-N president said the corrupt ruler was misleading the government for his sinking politics. People should come out against his lies and give the message that they had rejected inflation and the government which brought the inflation, he maintained.

“The masses should know that their rights have been eaten up by the corrupt and incompetent rulers. If they do not come out against them then they will consume the entire country,” he said.

At the moment, the country was besieged by serious issues and dangers, he said adding that the people would have to play their roles in getting rid of them.

“The Mehngai Mukao March is a movement to eradicate issues like incompetence, unqualifiedness, corruption and inflation,” he said.
