Pakistan Inflation Rate 2023: Inflation, huge debt from abroad, unstable political crisis and inflation of essential basic amenities ranging from flour have kept Pakistan in a bind. Pakistan is adopting various tactics to get out of this difficult phase. Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Defense Minister Khawaja Asif suggested on Saturday that one-fourth of Pakistan’s debt could be repaid if two golf clubs built on expensive government land were sold.
Sama TV reported, Minister Khawaja Asif admitted that the country is already bankrupt, and the solution to the country’s problems is not with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) but within the country. He also held institutions, bureaucracy and politicians responsible for the current economic situation.
Golf club will compensate!
Khwaja Asif said that he has been in the Parliament for 33 years and has seen the country’s politics getting discredited in 32 years. The PML-N leader also pointed out that the golf clubs were built on government land and selling two of them would reduce one-fourth of Pakistan’s debt, Sama TV reported.
Gave terrorists a chance to settle in the country
Expressing grief over the martyrdom of jawans in the fight against terrorism, Asif said that the security agencies are working tirelessly to deal with this issue. He claimed that terrorists were given full opportunity to settle in the country two years ago. Asif also said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif would announce major measures in all government institutions to control the fiscal deficit by reducing government expenditure, The Express Tribune reported.
Meanwhile, the opposition proposed the government to take some bold decisions and implement its austerity measures to get the country out of the economic crisis. Leader of the Opposition Shahzad Wasim said the rulers have closed corruption cases worth Rs 1,100 billion and the people of Pakistan are bearing the brunt of it. According to the news of The Express Tribune, he also expressed apprehension that the new budgetary measures will increase inflation.
