Pakistan Information and Broadcasting minister said that some “miscreants” associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf tried to sabotage Pakistan’s deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), reported Dawn.
The deal was crucial for Pakistan’s economic stability, the minister emphasised.
His statement comes after the IMF refused to accept a letter from the PTI during a protest outside their Washington offices, where officials asked demonstrators to submit the letter via email instead.
The PTI in their letter urged IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva to “withhold any further financial assistance or loan disbursements to Pakistan until a credible investigation by an independent body” clears it of all rigging allegations, Dawn reported.
Tarar further said that the protesters belonging to the PTI urged the IMF to approve funds to Pakistan only if their jailed leader was released.
