Imran Khan talks on inflation
Pakistan’s deposed Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Tuesday that his government did not pass on the burden of inflation to the public despite pressure from the International Monetary Fund. Attacking the Shahbaz government, Imran Khan said that the government has tormented people for its own convenience. Recently, the International Monetary Fund has imposed strict conditions like raising electricity rates and taxing petroleum products to restore Pakistan’s economic package. Earlier, cash-strapped Pakistan had made an agreement with the IMF to restore its stalled $6 billion aid package.
