LAHORE: Former Finance Minister Miftah Ismail has claimed that the present rulers have no capability to rule and deliver, and has termed the governance as ‘the worst’.
Speaking at a ceremony in Al-Hamra Hall the other day, the former Finance Minister alleged that rulers proceeded to Saudi Arabia not to perform Umrah, but to strike deal about getting oil from the Kingdom.
Miftah Ismail said Pakistan’s economy is going backward with every passing day and added that only 30,000 people are paying taxes out of 2.2 million.
“Pakistan is not properly functioning for which IMF, Saudi Arabia and China cannot be blamed.”
Commenting on the IMF deal, Miftah Ismail said he was sacked by the incumbent government as finance minister for striking deal with the international lender. Pakistan’s economy was far better as compared to the present, in my tenure, Miftah maintained.
How can IMF believe Pakistan after such a situation, he added.
Lamenting the political game in Punjab, the PML-N stalwart said we should focus on the revival of the country’s economy rather than surfing energies on the ‘political games’.
