The former prime minister said that when he took over in 2013, Pakistan was almost in a state of default and by fixing the economy, he added it to the world’s most developed nations. The dollar remained at 104 rupees until that time. By expelling me, they abused the country. I kept the dollar at the price of 104 rupees for four years, so I should have been satisfied that the dollar would remain at the same price in the future. But I was fired.

He said that we have eliminated the problem of load shedding and installed power plants, installed power plants under CPEC in record time with the support of China and did not allow the electricity rates to increase, in 2017 the electricity bill was Rs. 18 thousand rupees is coming today, where will the poor man pay the electricity bill?
He said that Maryam Nawaz reduced the price of flour as soon as she became the chief minister, sometimes she is engaged in the improvement of health and sometimes housing issues.
Nawaz Sharif said that in our era, the interest rate of the bank was five rupees, who took it to twenty-two and a half percent? How will the investment be made? We have been tied to the terms of the IMF, who went after me to ask for loans? We did not build this motorway by asking for a loan.
