During the opposition leader s address, Federal Minister for Human Rights Dr Shireen Mazari said that the PML-N president had to bring back the stolen money from the country during their [PML-N] tenure including recovering money from Zardari, instead his brother fled from Pakistan after looting money.
Responding, Shahbaz Sharif said that on what grounds the government is taunting us. He said that inflation is skyrocketing in the country and it has become difficult for the poor to earn their daily bread.
He said that the finance minister had said that no new tax would be imposed on petrol, but look at the petrol and electricity prices adding that country is facing record inflation.
