The Pakistan Economy Watch (PEW) on Sunday said the government has completely failed in the economic field and disappointed people and the business community. It said that the government is more concerned about politics than the country, which is against national interests and open violation of promises.
The government’s disappointing economic performance is impacting 20 million people, and national defence as well said Brig. (retd) Aslam Khan, Chairman of PEW.
In a statement issued here today, he said that at that time, all the important circles of the country were frustrated over bad governance.
At this critical juncture, the priority should be the economy, but the government’s priorities are something else, due to which the economic crisis despair and anxiety are increasing.
Aslam Khan said that the people hoped the economic situation would improve by removing Miftah Ismail and appointing Ishaq Dar as the finance minister, but the idea proved wrong.
Economic managers continue to stick to their wrong policies, and important decisions are not being made according to the country’s conditions and the requirements of the IMF, due to which the situation is rapidly deteriorating, he added.
He noted that apart from the economic field, the government is also performing worst in the political pitch. Neither the investment environment has been improved, nor has the law and order situation improved.
He said that the government has not been able to defend its policies, nor has there been any interest in countering the misguided youth attacking institutions through social media.
PDM leaders unite only to get benefits and settle their cases, but there is no agreement among them to save the country, due to which their popularity continues to decrease rapidly, he observed
The partners of PML-N are not cooperating with it even after getting more than their due share, and in this situation, PML-N is trying to gain cheap fame by targeting the establishment, he said.
Aslam Khan said that in the current situation, the champions of democracy had become a major threat to democracy.
