ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Science and Technology Fawad Chaudhry took Pakistan Mulsim League Nawaz (PML-N) leader Marriyum Aurangzeb to task after she shared statistics on skyrocketing prices of essential items on the popular micro-blogging site, Twitter.
Hitting back at her criticism of the PTI government, the minister in a tweet asked Marriyam to first return from Australia and her party’s leadership from London. He added the responsibility for inflation rests with the PML-N leadership that pushed the country into a debt trap and stashed dollars abroad.
Flagging the need for pulling the country out of economic instability, he asked her not to give them a lesson.
آپ آسٹریلیا سے اورآپ کی لیڈرشپ لندن سے واپس تشریف لائیں مڈل کلاس کے غم میں جتنے آپ بے حال ہیں عوام کو پتہ ہے، اور مہنگائ کی وجہ آپ کی قیادت ہے جنہوں نے قرضوں میں ملک کو ڈبویا ،ملک سے ڈالر باہر منتقل کیا معاشی عدم استحکام سے نکلنا اہم ہے لیکن آپ یہ سبق نہ پڑھائیں https://t.co/IZiQuoTajl
