PTI: two years

Published September 1, 2020

IMRAN Khan says relief, peace of mind and satisfaction can be achieved once a man is dead. It is the grave where one feels at peace. Thus the banal statement of making the country a welfare state and the state of Madina proved fake. Imran Khan has failed to transform his words into action.

Owing to a bunch of incompetent people in his team, the government has been facing multiple problems such as poverty, inflation, job insecurity, profiteering and hoarding. Then we have this wheat and sugar crisis. The prices of these commodities are so high that they have gone virtually out of reach of the common man.

Imran Khan before coming to power promised to create 10 million jobs and 50,000 houses for the poor, but he, in fact, snatched jobs and livelihood from the people by sinking the already fragile economy and creating unprecedented inflation.

The last two years of bad governance have proved a nightmare for the people. It is a fact he has shown no concern for Sindh during the two years of poor governance. He once promised he would establish a hospital in Thar. This too proved a fake promise.
