‘Only way to end inflation is to oust Imran Khan’: Bilawal Bhutto

Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari said that the increase in prices of petroleum products is Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s new year’s gift to the citizens and the only way to end inflation is to oust the premier himself.

In a series of tweets shared by the PPP official Twitter handle, Bilawal said, “Imran Khan claimed that 2021 would be the year of prosperity, but 2022 has arrived, where have the claims gone.”

The PPP leader’s statement comes after the government announced an Rs4 increase in petrol price.

He stated that the country witnessed higher inflation than a year prior during Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s (PTI) tenure, but they continue to blame previous governments labelling them as incompetent.

Bilawal claimed that the PPP faced the worst economic crisis in the world’s history but did not let the citizens bear the brunt of the inflation.

He urged the federal government to reduce the rates of petroleum products in line with international prices.

The PPP chairperson stated that the only way to end inflation is to “oust Imran Khan.”
