Senior PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry has reacted to the row between Finance Minister Ishaq Dar and his predecessor Miftah Ismail over the recent petrol price cut, saying that the federal government comprises of the “most idiotic team” in the country’s history.
Last week, Dar announced to slash the skyrocketing petrol price by Rs12.63 per litre, giving a major relief to the inflation-stricken people.
However, the former finance minister Miftah was not at all happy about the government’s decision to not increase the petroleum development levy (PDL) this month without International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) approval, and termed it “reckless”.
Dar, in response to the tweet, said in Geo News programme “Capital Talk” that Miftah should not worry about the IMF deal as now he has to deal with the lender.
The public quarrel between the two PML-N leaders has been termed “irresponsible and contradictory” by former minster Fawad Chauhdry.
Taking to Twitter, the PTI leader said:
“The irresponsible and contradictory statements have complicated matters further regarding the IMF programme. This government comprises of the most idiotic team in the history as half of the cabinet doesn’t have portfolios, while those who have, don’t know the ABC of their ministry. They even failed to build a dashboard.”
