She predicted that Imran"s deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) on tight terms, which saw the dollar price rise from Rs115 to Rs189 against the rupee, will lead to another confession shortly.
The minister projected that, in addition to a dramatic rise in inflation, tremendous unemployment, and economic disaster, the fruits of "carat," "Khairat," and corruption would soon be recognised.
Marriyum"s comments came a day after Tarin offered a bleak image of the country"s economy, claiming that inflation and unemployment will worsen as a result of the PML-N-led coalition government"s "flawed" budget.
"Fuel prices are likely to rise even higher now that the state has raised the petroleum levy as part of its commitment to the International Monetary Fund (IMF)," Tarin stated at a news conference on Saturday with other PTI officials, including Omer Ayub.
