Imran also targeted Shahbaz government

Former Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan on Wednesday lashed out at the leaders of the ruling coalition.

The statement came after the help received by Pakistan

At a donors' conference in Geneva on Monday hosted by Pakistan and the United Nations, the international community pledged more than USD 10 billion to help the country rebuild in a climate-friendly manner after last year's devastating floods. Has promised to give, after which this statement of Imran has come to the fore. Addressing his party's MPs via video, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman also talked about the progress of India and Bangladesh vis-à-vis Pakistan.

Imran Khan praised India fiercely

Imran said, "Take just the example of IT, India's IT exports were US$ 1 billion in 2000 and today it has crossed US$ 140 billion. And where do we stand today. Two families, the Sharifs and the Zardaris, who have been in power for 35 years, have never focused on exports. This has happened only because fraudsters have been imposed on us. Under the leadership of Shahbaz, these fraudsters have ruined the country's economy and now they are begging from the world.
