Shahid Khaqan Abbasi Critiques Government’s Handling of Economic Crisis
In a recent address in Islamabad, Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, the convener of the Awaam Pakistan Party (APP), didn’t hold back on his views regarding the current government’s performance. Alongside fellow party leader Miftah Ismail, Abbasi shared his concerns about the government’s inadequate governance and its failure to combat corruption effectively.
Abbasi pointed out that the recent IMF report sheds light on several pressing issues facing Pakistan’s economy. He emphasized that the report contained crucial insights that the government seemingly chose to keep hidden from the public. “This is essentially a summary of the points we have been raising for a long time,” Abbasi stated, indicating his disappointment that the government has not taken necessary actions despite being aware of the challenges.
One of the most alarming points raised was the stark reality of unemployment, which Abbasi noted has soared to a historic high of 7.1%. This distressing statistic has led many young Pakistanis to seek opportunities abroad, adding to the brain drain that the country is already facing.
Abbasi questioned the government’s decision to delay the report’s release, highlighting a transparency issue that seems to plague the current regime. He argued, “We must take the IMF’s findings seriously,” emphasizing that it’s not just about acknowledging the situation but taking actionable steps to address it.
