LAHORE: (UrduPoint/Pakistan Point News-July 22nd, 2023) Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif expressed concern over the perceived divisions in the country and blamed the previous Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government for sowing seeds of discord with their narrative of labeling opponents as "thieves and dacoits."
He stressed that he had never witnessed such division in the country before.
The PM expressed these words while addressing a ceremony held in honor of the students of Danish Schools in Lahore on Saturday.

Regarding the International Monetary Fund (IMF) deal, the Prime Minister acknowledged that securing it was a necessity due to the challenging economic circumstances faced by the country.

PM Shehbaz emphasized the importance of making optimal use of this opportunity for economic revival.
Highlighting the abundance of resources in Pakistan, the Prime Minister called for greater awareness of the country's potential. He criticized the PTI chief, alleging corruption in a significant case involving 190 million Pounds and fraudulent transactions leading to funds being deposited in the Supreme Court's account. PM Shehbaz advocated for a proper and collaborative approach to the charter of economy, irrespective of the government in power.
