Imran ‘astonished’ by establishment’s apathy on economic meltdown,
PTI forms committee for preparations of LG polls in Punjab,
Lahore_Imran Khan has criticised the government and said that the incumbent set up is ‘far worse than General Pervez Musharraf’s martial law’, mran Khan wrote, “With complete disregard for the rule of law, this fascist government – far worse than General Musharraf’s martial law, has a one point agenda which is to crush PTI.”Khan has expressed astonishment as to how the establishment was allowing the economic meltdown of the country by supporting the incumbent regime.
He said that the depreciation of Pakistani rupee against the US dollar would result in hyperinflation.
“Meanwhile, Pak economy is going into a free fall. Dollar is at Rs. 315 in the open market, while for non CNIC holders the rate is between Rs 320-325. The gap between the official rate & open market rate is Rs30/$,” he mentioned.
The ex-PM opined, “This dollarization of economy means no local or foreign investment into the country, which will result into contraction of the GDP and worse, lead to hyperinflation.”
Imran said that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) leaders have billions of dollars stashed abroad and hence they are unconcerned.
However, he questioned how the establishment is allowing the country’s economic meltdown.
“The question is, how on earth is the Pakistani establishment allowing the country to head towards a complete economic meltdown?”
