‘Our govt said goodbye to IMF, who approached it later?’ — Nawaz Sharif

Former Prime Minister Mian Nawaz Sharif claimed during a press conference in Lahore that some judges removed him from office because he refused to accept a salary of 10,000 dirhams from his son, Hassan Nawaz.

He pointed out that a household’s electricity bill was only 1,600 rupees under his administration, which has now increased to 18,000 rupees. He also noted that the dollar was valued at PKR 104 during his tenure, and that the cost of flour has now surged, affecting the cost of living.

Sharif mentioned that “Rs 14 per electricity unit will be credited to the August and September bills for consumption ranging from 0 to 500 units. The Punjab government has also introduced solar panel schemes, budgeting Rs 7,000 billion for the middle and lower-middle classes.”

He added, “I said goodbye to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) during my time in office, but who approached the IMF afterward?”

“The current condition of my country pains me, and we should not forgive those who brought us to this point,” concluded the PML-N supremo
