Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders have criticised the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz-led federal government for allocating Rs410 million to deal with the upcoming marh of the party.
In his tweet, PTI senior leader Asad Umar said that “electricity, gas, petrol, flour, pulses and everything else has become expensive because the indebted government is compelled to accept the conditions of the International Monetary Fund.”
He further said that the cabinet approved a budget of Rs410 million to crush the PTI long march and to torture the unarmed people. There is no shame”
On the other hand, PTI leader said that the government has “planned a broad day robbery” on the national coffer under the disguise of stopping the PTI long march.
She said that where will this Rs410 go, everyone knows about it.
“Now, we have understood that why the wanted criminal sitting in London and his daughter wanted to make (Ishaq) Dar sit on the national coffer,” Sherry Mazari said in a statement while alluding to PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and his daughter Maryam Nawaz.
She said that “the loot and plunder of national resources has been started again and the PTI’s march is just an excus. We have taken out peaceful marches in which families participate. We know where these Rs410 million will go.”
“Darnamics” is at its peak under the nose of the imported government” Sherry Mazari said while referring to Ishaq Dar, who assumed charge as the finance minister almost two weeks back.
Earlier, the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) approved over Rs410 million to deal with the upcoming PTI long march.
The ECC chaired by Finance Minister Ishaq Dar approved the summary moved by the interior ministry, seeking an initial sum of Rs410 million to maintain the law-and-order situation that may arise owing to the PTI’s expected long march on the federal capital.
According to media reports, the Rs410.2 million was the estimated cost of preparations to deal with the PTI protestors besides meeting the expenditures for the deployment of a 30,000 security personnel, their meal, transportation and accommodation cost.
