The National Assembly Opposition Leader said in just 3 years, this PTI government had ruined the economic gains of PMLN's 5 years from 2013 to 2018. He mentioned that PMLN pulled 20 million people out of poverty while mafia-patronising PTI added 50 million more.
Shehbaz said the poverty, inflation and unemployment will be Imran and his government's legacy forever.
