Pakistan's Information Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb on Sunday said people in the country are facing inflation and unemployment due to former Prime Minister Imran Khan's incompetence.
Addressing a news conference in Islamabad, Aurangzeb said Imran Khan misused authority against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and other leaders of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz in the last four years, Radio Pakistan reported. Aurangzeb said it is the people of Pakistan, who through their elected representatives, voted out Imran Khan from power. Talking about the corruption of Imran Khan, Aurangzeb said he retained gifts from Tosha Khana as well as an expensive BMW vehicle worth 150 million rupees. She said a pistol gifted by a foreign dignitary was even not listed with the Tosha Khana and Imran Khan retained that with him illegally, Radio Pakistan reported. She also talked about the incident that took place at the Masjid-e-Nabawi. She said the sloganeering against Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and his delegation at the Masjid-e-Nabawi was made on the "behest" of Imran Khan.
