Govt obscuring agreements with IMF, alleges Khursheed Shah

SUKKUR: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) senior leader Khursheed Shah on Thursday alleged that the federal government was hiding its agreements with International Monetary Fund (IMF), ARY News reported.

Khursheed Shah, in his latest statement, demanded the federal government to brief details of its agreement with IMF before the nation.

The PPP leader said, “All previous governments had taken loans from the IMF after accepting all of its conditions, but the present government is hiding its agreements.” He added that PPP has always urged the government to avoid using national institutions for self-benefits instead of tasking it with the public welfare.
