Veteran actress Iffat Omar has not been one to hide her disdain for the current Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government. She even went as far as to say that Zia-ul-Haq’s dictatorship and Musharraf’s military rule were better than the current government.
In her appearance on Naumaan Ijaz’s talk show, G Sarkar, the Mohabbat Aag Si actress got candid about her political views.
The actress-cum-host shared how having lived through military governance in the past, she believes those regimes were better than the current democratically elected Parliament.
“We grew up in Zia-ul-Haq’s era and then even saw Pervez Musharraf’s regime, itnay buray halaat nahi thay (things weren’t so bad).”
She even went as far as to say both these eras were much better in comparison to the current government. Iffat Omar said that the economic situation wasn’t as worse as in Imran Khan’s regime. She then went on to list her grievances with the Imran Khan government and how it hasn’t delivered on campaign promises.
“He lied, PM Imran showed us dreams and then just shattered them.”
Iffat Omar is quite critical of the PTI government on social media. While most in the entertainment industry support the alternative choice after a stagnant two-party system for so long, the veteran actress doesn’t.
The Dour diva shared how Netizens often troll her and say that she has received money from Mariyam Nawaz or Pakistan Mulsim League Nawaz (PML-N) leaders for slamming PTI online.
On a personal note, the Haiwan actress said that she will never become a politician, even if provided the opportunity. Her reasons for doing so? Because politicians lie a lot and that is something that she cannot do.
