LAHORE (92 News) – Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) President on Tuesday has termed the first two years of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government as unmitigated disaster. The opposition leader in National Assembly (NA) took his Twitter and posted that from foreign policy to economy to governance, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan’s mismanagement of national affairs has increased the woes of the masses manifold. “People continue to pay heavy price for this failed experiment in political engineering,” he added. "In 2 years of PTI government: GDP growth rate registered a massive decline from +5.8% in 2018 to -0.45% in 2020, rendering millions of people jobless & pushing many more below the poverty line. Prices of sugar, wheat & medicines almost doubled. Per capita income went down steeply," he said in another tweet. "Failure in critical areas of foreign policy could not be starker. After 70 years, India had the audacity to annex Kashmir after IK hoped Modi would win elections. Work on CPEC was slowed down 4 a year. Relationship with key allies such as Saudi Arabia was subjected to controversy." He further explained the performance of the government in another tweet: "Exports & tax collection have stagnated over the last 2 years. Govt has yet to surpass the tax & export targets achieved by the PMLN during its tenure. PTI has taken more loans in just 2 years than taken by PML-N during its full tenure. “Reforms” in FBR is still a shallow claim."
