AML chief holds PDM responsible for ruining the economy

RAWALPINDI (Dunya News) - Awami Muslim League (AML) chief and former interior minister Sheikh Rashid says the caretaker government is not ready to carry the baggage of decisions made by the PDM. 

Taking to X (formerly Twitter), the seasoned politician said all the 13 parties of PDM took decisions jointly during the last 16 months and now they are accusing each other of taking bad decisions. 

“They distributed sweets after signing deal with the IMF but the caretakers are not carrying their burden anymore,” the veteran politician said.

All these 13 political parties were responsible for destroying the economy, he added. 

They came on the pretext of saving the state and left after ruining it, the AML chief said. 

16 مہینے میں 13 پارٹیوں کا حکومت میں سے کوٸی بھی فیصلوں کا بوجھ اٹھانے کے لٸے تیار نہیں ہے ان تمام پارٹیوں نے مل کرفیصلے کیے IMF کے فیصلے پر مٹھاٸیاں بانٹی سارا بوجھ عوام پر ڈالا جو اب ایک دوسرے پر الزام لگا رہے ہیں تمام 13پارٹیاں تباہی اور بربادی کی ذمہ دار ہیں یہ ریاست بچانے…

The former minister said all the parties, except the PML-N, were demanding elections within 90 days. The reality is that no one is ready to go to polls to face the public, he added. 

Meanwhile, Sheikh Rashid said most of the sugar mills were owned by former presidents, prime ministers and cabinet members. “They make decisions according to their own interest and people suffer,” Rashid said.
