With the International Monetary Fund (IMF) approving a loan to Pakistan, big names in politics across the country started pulling each other’s legs. Imran Khan was declared a traitor while PTI said about the government that they are shameless people.
Former Federal Minister Asad Umar said in his Twitter message 2 days ago that an agreement was reached with the IMF and now these shameless people are congratulating the nation, but he did not explain who the shameless people were in the Twitter message.
Asad Umar’s Twitter message referred to the past statements of the current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, Planning Minister Ahsan Iqbal, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz and Defense Minister Khawaja Asif, which in retrospect. It is clear for whom the term shameless people was meant.
In the statement of the former opposition leader of the National Assembly and the current Prime Minister, Shahbaz Sharif says that they have piled up in front of the IMF for 1 billion dollars. Security has become a risk.
In the quoted statement of Chairman PPP, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari criticizes the former Imran Khan government and says that it should get out of the anti-people IMF deal. Ahsan Iqbal said that they made us slaves of the IMF.
Similarly, PML-N Vice President Maryam Nawaz said that IMF will draw lines from our nose, while PML-N leader Khawaja Asif said that this IMF bill is a bigger surrender than the fall of Dhaka.
If we turn the pages of history, we find that in 1971, East Pakistan separated from us and became Bangladesh, which is called the fall of Dhaka. A sad incident in this tragedy was that the soldiers of the Pakistan Army had to surrender, which Khawaja Asif called the fall of Dhaka surrender.
Consider that PML-N did not do anything new but did what Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf is doing today. When the PTI was in power, the deal with the IMF was among the priorities of the Imran Khan government and when the loss of power started to appear, the deal with the IMF was broken.
Economists say that the initiative taken by the PTI government by breaking the agreement with the IMF is unprecedented in the country’s 75-year history. There is a need for politicians to get out of the war of personal interests and take measures to protect national interests.
