International sanction ruined the nation as the money dried up for loans and grants. The PNC would have prospered in their crookedness like many dictators favorable to the west did at this time if they huddled for protections under the western cold war umbrella of this era.
The PNC did not sell our our assets, or give away our lands en mass to their cronies. The PPP has. Yes there is a difference. The PPP has practiced industrial strength corruption during their rule and the obscene wealth we see among their kith and kin is evidence of that.
Indeed the AFC has not proposed any methodological strategy to control the PPP's theft. They have not advocated any constitutional changes that will bring an end to the authoritarian executive presidency. Indeed they are yet to tell us and to generate the memes that would change the thinking of the people from accepting the idea that the PPP can overule the legislature. This lacking is pathetic.
Don't try to rewrite history, during the PNC years they did give away land, however the land was not as valuable as under the PPP. During the PPP tenure land value has increased tremendously, hence the focus on their alleged "giving away of land". During the PNC era they could not give away land if they wanted to as the land was a liability due to the tax burden via property taxes.
