Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif blames Imran Khan for economic crisis, announces PKR 28 billion relief package
After the massive rise in gasoline and diesel prices, Khan criticized the Sharif government. He said this “insensitive government” had failed to follow through on Pakistan’s Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party’s deal with Russia for 30% cheaper oil. The former Pakistani prime minister also praised India for buying cheaper oil from Russia despite pressure from the United States.
On Thursday, responding to Khan’s six-day ultimatum for new polls, Sharif said the former PTI leader’s dictation would not work and it was the House that would decide when to hold an election. Khan gave Sharif an ultimatum to announce new elections in six days.
