Talking about the Daily Mail’s apology matter, PM Shehbaz Sharif said the newspaper’s management used delay tactics but now apologized unconditionally to the entire Pakistani nation.
Shehbaz Sharif said British National Crime Agency has given them a clean chit and former justice Shaukat Aziz Saddiqui’s statement and all the facts from Panama Papers to Iqama are before the nation in which Mian Nawaz Sharif and his family were tried to defame.
Addressing the media, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar said PTI’s previous government ruined the Pak economy by taking record loans and devaluing the Pakistani currency.
Dar said Imran asked the donors not to give a single penny to Pakistan but a restoration of the IMF program saved the country from default.
