RAWALPINDI: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder Chairman Imran Khan wrote a letter to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), a communication likely to have reached its destination today.
Speaking informally to reporters within the confines of the court room at Adiala Jail, Rawalpindi, the former Prime Minister underscored the precariousness of accepting loans in the present circumstances, questioning the feasibility of repayment and its potential exacerbation of poverty within Pakistan.
Imran Khan emphasized the imperative of fostering investment to mitigate the escalating debt crisis, stressing the prerequisite of political stability for such endeavors to materialize.
Reflecting on past events, Khan lamented the erosion of institutional integrity during the tenure of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif, attributing his ascension to power to systemic compromise within courts and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).
Additionally, Khan asserted his victimization during Sharif’s regime, alleging electoral fraud and recounting purported instances of coercion, notably referencing the ordeal of the Rawalpindi commissioner.
Contrarily, PTI leader Barrister Gohar Ali Khan reiterated the party’s commitment to preserving the nation’s economic well-being and democratic principles, affirming that PTI’s actions will not undermine the democratic fabric.
Barrister Gohar emphasized the party’s stance on transparent elections as a prerequisite for economic stability, cautioning against any measures that could derail the democratic process.
It’s noteworthy that PTI leaders disclosed yesterday their intent to correspond with the IMF, urging the international body to refrain from extending loans to Pakistan amidst its prevailing challenges.
