He said that he strongly believes that Prime Minister Imran Khan is the best hope for Pakistan and Inshallah will make a ‘Naya Pakistan’.
Responding to the resignation of Asad Umar, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said that if PTI’s and Asad Umer’s policies were so good, and the problems were from PML-N government, then why was he asked to step down. “This is an admission by Imran Khan that his policies have created an economic crisis in Pakistan.
