ISLAMABAD: PPP leader and Advisor to PM on Kashmir Affairs and Gilgit-Baltistan Qamar Zaman Kaira said Sunday that if PTI Chairman Imran Khan had not been removed from power, he would have caused more damage to the country.

This he said while addressing a launching ceremony of development projects in Lala Musa today. Lashing out at former prime minister, he said that inflation was at its peak in his tenure. He said that Imran angered friendly countries and as soon as he got power, he vitiated ties with China. The PPP leader said that Imran regarded it as his success that a storm of indecency was unleashed on social media.

“Now Imran is attacking the Election Commission of Pakistan. He is talking against the state institutions. He has enraged Pakistan’s friends and isolated the country in the comity of nations. He made Turkey, Malaysia, China and Europe angry,” Kaira lamented. The PM advisor was of the view if the former premier had been in power for more time, the country would have to endure more pain.
