Suleman Shehbaz, son of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, termed all the three former finance ministers “jokers.” including PML’s former finance minister Mifta Ismail.
In a tweet, Suleman referred to the country’s three most recent finance ministers, including the PML-most N’s recent finance minister, Miftah Ismail, as “jokers.”
He publicly mocked Miftah (without naming him), his father’s first finance minister, who PM Shehbaz commended for reviving the IMF program last year.
Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) Senior Vice-President Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, on a private tv channel ‘Geo News’ program “Aaj Shahzeb Khanzada Kay Sath” strongly criticized Suleman Shehbaz’s tweet calling the three previous finance ministers “jokers” on Thursday.
The PML-N senior leader was unsure if Suleman stated this but condemned it. That calling former finance ministers jokers was unacceptable regardless of party affiliation.
