Imran Khan did a suicide attack on economy, says Bilawal Bhutto

Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said that Imran Khan carried out a suicide attack on the country’s economy anticipating his ouster, ARY News reported. 

Imran’s ouster using democratic means is progress for the democratic system, he added.

The PPP Chief added that in the past prime ministers were exiled, hanged or killed in bomb blasts. “So this is progress for our democratic system that we sent a premier packing through parliament.”

The minister hoped that this precedent would continue in the future.

The PPP Chief criticised Imran for his governance, saying that the PTI chief deliberately endangered the economy on his way out. Imran thought that if he endangered the economy, the people would blame his successor, he said, adding that the country was in danger of defaulting.

He added, “To play with the health of a country’s economy, to play Russian roulette with the country’s economy […] was an injustice with the people of Pakistan.”

He termed the perception of Imran Khan’s ouster similar to earlier ousters of PMs a ‘false equivalence’. For the first time in the country’s history.

Talking about the devastating floods in the country, he said that it is a “climate catastrophe, the likes of which we’ve never seen”.

He added that the cameras have gone, but our brothers and sisters are still suffering.
