LAHORE: PML-Q’s senior leader Chaudhry Pervaiz Elahi says the new dollar price and depreciation of rupee, constant increase in petrol and diesel prices and outages throughout the country are the result of the PML-N rule.

Speaking at an Iftar party in Gujrat on Tuesday, he criticised the PML-N for targeting the army and the judiciary, says a press release.

He said people were facing a lot of problems caused by price-hike and the record depreciation of rupee was a proof of the PML-N government’s ineffective policies especially of securing loans on higher interest rates and giving preference to unproductive projects.
