Ishaq Dar’s futile financial policies buried every Pakistani under a debt of Rs120, 381

ISLAMABAD: The clamor for the resignation of Finance Minister Ishaq Dar from the post is getting louder as facts & figures reveal that he badly failed to deliver.

According to the latest statistics Dar’s futile financial policies have buried each and every Pakistani underneath a debt of Rs. 120,381!

Senator Nasreen Jalil of the MQM (P), while commenting on the dismal situation, held: “If the Committee does not pass a resolution for the minister’s resignation, Dar will be responsible for the further deterioration of the economic indicators”.

Not only opposition senators, Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa has also maintained that the minister should call it a day.

It is pertinent to mention here that back in 2013 Pakistanis used to owe a debt of Rs. 91,000 each. The debt increase of 32% reflects the pathetic performance of PML-N Government.
