Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has asked masses to be prepared for spiralling inflation.
Addressing the nation via video link, he lambasted Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, saying the latter was preparing the nation for more inflation.
The deposed premier reminded PM Shehbaz of his speeches during the PTI’s tenure, adding if enemies would not be dealt with the way the coalition government did in the past 10 months.
Recalling his ouster, Mr Khan said, “Shehbaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari had toppled the PTI’s government by joining hands with the foreign powers.”

Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has announced that inflation will further increase after the International Monetary Fund (IMF) loan agreement.
While addressing a press conference in Islamabad today, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that the federal government imposed new taxes on big companies in the mini-budget and protected the common man from bearing the financial burden.
