ISLAMABAD, June 12(ABC): Senior PTI leader and former federal minister for information Fawad Chaudhry on Sunday called out Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb for making “stupid remarks” regarding the loans taken by the PTI-led government.
“You will do have [such] stupid conversations if you keep playing Candy Crush [popular mobile phone game],” Fawad wrote on Twitter, addressing the information minister.
The statement came in response to Aurangzeb’s remarks about former finance minister Shaukat Tarin’s statement admitting that the PTI government took 76% of the loans taken in the entire history of Pakistan.
Fawad criticised her, saying that the PTI government took loans worth $52 billion, of which $38 billion was spent on returning the loans taken by the PML-N government during their previous tenure.
“If the beggar government doesn’t like [the] deal with IMF, why does it go to attend[the] IMF Board’s meetings?” he asked.
