ISLAMABAD: The Prime Minister Imran Khan’s $12 billion Saudi package to has badly frustrated the Opposition which was eyeing Pakistan Tehrik e Insaaf government’s failure due to financial crisis, inherited from the past regimes.

Exchanging views with APP, Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry’s President Ahmed Hassan Moughal said KSA bailout package was a big achievement of PTI government within a short span of time. But, he warned, it was a short term solution to financial crisis and more concrete measures were required to get out of this uncertainty.
He criticizing opposition’s negative role in this hour of trial and aid their undue hue and cry over was unjustified and PTI government should be given as Constitutional right to complete its tenure.
“It would be an injustice if opposition expects PTI to resolve all issues inherited by past regimes in the blink of an eye,” he added.
Ahmed Hassan reposed his full confidence in incumbent government’s prudent policies and expressed the hope that it would steer the country out of current crisis.
He lauded the far sighted approach of the Prime Minister for avoiding IMF and preferring friendly countries which was a wise decision as IMF’s harsh conditions may put extra burden on the poor of the country.
