Censuring the incumbent government for the economic crisis in the country, the former premier said that Pakistan’s economic conditions were never like this, emphasising that fair and transparent polls are the only solution to these problems.
“The current government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif has come into power through horse trading,” claimed the PTI chief.
