Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice President Maryam Nawaz claimed that only her party could combat inflation which continues to surge making it difficult to poor citizens to have a square meal.
Amid spiraling up food prices, the weekly inflation rate in Pakistan surged to 42.27 per cent – highest weekly YoY number since September last – on an annual basis during the outgoing week as the cash-strapped country implemented conditions laid forth by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to revive a stalled loan programme.
According to the Pakistan Bureau of Statistics (PBS), the weekly inflation measured by Sensitive Price Indicator (SPI) recorded a rise of 1.37% until March 9, with major increase observed in the prices of food items.
Maryam Nawaz stated this while chairing a party meeting in Faisalabad where organizational structure of the party was reviewed and recommendations for enhancing cooperation among PML-N wings were discussed.
She said the PML-N was the only party that could reduce inflation and put the country on the road to prosperity. She reiterated her demand for equal standards of justice in the country.
