ISLAMABAD: Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leader Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar, who recently resigned as the party’s senator, on Sunday lambasted the economic policies of the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government.
In his tweet, Mustafa Nawaz Khokhar said the country’s economy is not well and Pakistan is heading towards default. Claims were made to bring down the US dollar to Rs200, and on International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) demands.
معیشت بدستور بدحال اور دیوالیہ ہونے کا خطرہ بڑھ گیا۔ کہا گیا ڈالر دو سو پر آ جائے گا، مہنگائ کم اور آئی ایم ایف کو سیدھا کر دیں گے۔اُلٹا آئی ایم ایف نے مزید ٹیکس لگانے تک اگلی قسط دینے سے ہی انکار کر دیا۔ دوست ممالک بھی پریشان۔ تو پھر مفتاح کو بلی چڑھا کر صرف وزیر بننا مقصود تھا؟

Now the IMF has refused to release the next tranche of loan before the imposition of more taxes, he added.
