Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Barrister Aqeel Malik claimed on Tuesday that economic indicators were moving towards improvement.

Expressing his thoughts on Samaa TV programme "Nadeem Malik Live", Malik said: "A CCC rating also came some time ago. The structural reforms are being carried out slowly."

Malik blamed the previous government of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) for the existing economic crunch.

"The decline in the country's economy occurred during the PTI government," he said.

He added: "Who broke the International Monetary Fund (IMF) agreement? We did not violate it."

Malik took an indirect jibe at PTI founder Imran Khan, saying, "A person was taking the country to the brink of destruction."

"A no-confidence motion was brought against this person," he maintained.

On the other hand, expressing his thoughts on Samaa TV's "Nadeem Malik Live", senior politician Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said: "Ending political uncertainty will bring stability."

"Everyone is responsible for the misery the country has gone through," Khokhar added.

"This includes the judiciary, establishment, and political parties," he said.

"Some improvement has been made collectively. However, half of Pakistan is living below the poverty line," Khokhar added.

He lamented,"2.5 million young people do not have jobs each year."

Khokhar added:"The question is whether the economic indicators have improved for the people."
