Imran slams govt for 'economic murder of farmers'

SIALKOT: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan slammed the PML-N-led government during his address in Sialkot on Friday and held them responsible for the 'economic murder' of farmers in the country.

Addressing a PTI public gathering here, Imran Khan targeted PML-N chief Mian Muhammad Nawaz Sharif, reminding the public how the incumbent prime minister had once promised he would turn Sialkot into Paris.

"Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should travel on his own expense for his treatment," he said. "On one hand, the public is bearing the brunt of inflation while on the other hand, the government is imposing taxes," he added.

Imran said that a nation whose people robbed it of its wealth and shifted their gains abroad, could never progress. He also placed blame on the government for the difficulties farmers had to encounter.

"PML-N government has committed the economic murder of farmers," he said. Imran urged the people to vote for PTI's candidate Chaudhry Maqbool.

Imran's scathing criticism comes ahead of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's return to the country on Saturday evening. The Pakistani Premier had been convalescing in London for more than a month after his open-heart surgery.
