Imran Khan, the incarcerated founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, confirmed his intention to correspond with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) during a conversation with reporters at Adiala Jail.
He stated that PTI would be drafting a letter to the IMF concerning alleged election irregularities. “We will apprise the Fund of the lack of investor confidence in the regime due to the rigged elections,” Khan remarked, emphasizing PTI’s call for an investigation into the alleged election manipulation.
Expressing concern over the potential consequences of seeking new loans amidst political instability, Khan cautioned that acquiring loans without corresponding investments could exacerbate poverty and harm the country’s economy. He stressed the importance of political stability before considering new loans.
In a separate development, the inaugural session of the Sindh Assembly is set to convene today at 11 am. The Grand Democratic Alliance (GDA) and the Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) have announced plans to stage protests outside the provincial assembly to denounce the alleged rigging in the February 8 elections.
Sardar Abdul Rahim, the Information Secretary of the GDA, asserted, “Our protests across Sindh, including Karachi, are against the theft of the public mandate.”
