PTI govt spent borrowed money on defence, PM Shehbaz Sharif claims
Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif made a startling claim on Monday that the Imran Khan-led PTI regime, which was ousted recently following a no-confidence vote, had spent borrowed money on defence.
“Before the PTI government, many other expenditures have been borne through debts money, but in the last regime most of the defence expenditures were met through loans,” the prime minister was quoted as saying by The Dawn while speaking at the inauguration of the mass transit bus project on Peshawar Mor to Islamabad International Airport.
“The is an alarming situation in which the country cannot afford inordinate delays in development projects which are executed by means of loans,” he added.
He said the journey of Pakistan has started once again after it was halted during the PTI regime.
Shehbaz Sharif took oath as PM of the country recently.
PTI chief Imran Khan lost his PM post after he was defeated in a no-confidence motion brought against him recently.
