Opposition's criticism on economic growth aimed at creating political chaos: Rasheed

ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Minister for Interior Sheikh Rasheed on Sunday has said that the opposition's criticism on economic growth is aimed at creating political chaos and instability in the country.

In a statement on Sunday, Sheikh Rasheed has said that four per cent increase in the growth rate is due to unusual performance of Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s economic team. He said that economic indicators show that Pakistan's economy has taken off and the opposition's criticism on economic growth is aimed at creating political chaos and instability in the country.

Sheikh Rasheed said that the political shop of the opposition is now closed. "They are afraid that Imran Khan will get more success in the next election," he added. He said incentives will be given to the salaried and the common people in the next budget.

He also said despite Covid pandemic and unfavourable economic situation at the international level, four percent growth of Pakistani economy shows extra ordinary performance of PM Imran Khan and his economic team. He said this economic growth will further accelerate in next two years. He said the opposition is afraid of Prime Minister Imran Khan's likely success in the next general elections.
