olution to remove the government because time has proved that PPP’s thinking is parliamentary and democratic.

e Prime Minister, the minister went on to say that people of the country have been devastated by inflation for which th
e Prime Minister has to review his policies because along with his team, the captain is also responsible for the economic mess.
