Lahore (HRNW) Former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Monday said that fresh elections were critical to oust a group of usurpers on whom the world has no confidence and bring in elected government that can take the necessary steps to correct the economy.
He said this while summoning a meeting of his top economic advisors including former federal finance minister Shaukat Tarin, former federal commerce minister Hammad Azhar Syed Muzammil, former federal minister Omer Ayub, Salman Shah and other outside experts.
In his short address at the start of the meeting, Imran said that the country was currently facing severe economic challenges.
“I am not just addressing my supporters but also the institutions,” he said, adding that one part of the national security policy which his government had created, had one key part as the military and the other was economics.
“All of us should think where we are standing right now,” he said addressing the powerful establishment but also the judiciary.
He also questioned the business community.
“I am surprised why they are not raising their voices,” Imran said, adding that it was the business community which was the worst affected due to the current scenario.
“The small and medium industry, the exporter are being crushed,” the former prime minister said, adding that the overseas Pakistanis too are not sending as much remittances which they were during the PTI tenure.
