Imran came to power "full force," but the army's efforts were in vain: 

After alienating and enraged China, PM Shehbaz Premier claims that the PTI chief "conducted the funeral" of CPEC. 

Friday, Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said that former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leader Imran Khan was brought to power with "full force," but he did nothing in return and instead "wasted the efforts of the Pakistan Army." Sharif was referring to Khan's role as the PTI's leader.

During his remarks at the Hazara Electric Supply Company ceremony, the incumbent premier insisted that he was unconcerned about the assistance provided to the PTI leader by former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa.

PM Shehbaz, on the other hand, emphasized that Imran destroyed the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) and "conducted the funeral" for it after enraged and alienating China.

Shehbaz lamented, "China, our friend, had helped us and invested $60 billion in the project," adding that Imran began making accusations against China rather than being grateful.

On the other hand, the prime minister said that his coalition government was trying to improve relations with friendly nations.

Shehbaz praised the people and said that the establishment of the Hazara Electric Supply Company had been a long-standing demand during his speech.

He maintained that the business had been separated from the Peshawar Electric Supply Company (PESCO) and would complete all necessary steps "immediately."

He also told the Hazara people that Sui Gas projects had been given orders to be finished quickly.

PM Shehbaz mentioned that his brother, the former PM of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, helped "end an era of 20-hour-long load shedding" in the nation.
