ISLAMABAD – Federal Minister for Information and Broadcasting Attaullah Tarar on Friday dismissed the narrative of the disintegrated Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) as a pack of lies. In reaction to the opposition’s Press Conference, the minister said their narrative had nothing to do with reality, absolutely based on lies, deceit and fraud. He said those people who were betting on the country’s default are now stunned by the economic milestones achieved by Pakistan under the leadership of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The current account surplus, the increase in foreign exchange reserves, and a decrease in inflation and petrol prices are the major cause of their frustration, he said, adding the opposition is wary of the Foreign Direct Investment in the country. He also noted the daily rise in the stock market, which reflects investors’ confidence in the economy. “They are doing criticism just for the sake of criticism,” he said highlighting a pattern of the PTI’s actions aimed at undermining the success of country. Citing the upcoming visit of the Iranian President to Pakistan-a major milestone in Pakistan’s foreign policy, he said their press conference is aimed at sabotaging the high-level visit. The PTI had the history of always siding with those who are hostile to Pakistan, he stressed.
