Imran Khan Pakistan PM Imran Khan flayed for ‘mortgaging’ SBP
Islamabad/UNI: Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman has criticized the Imran Khan government for 'mortgaging' the State Bank of Pakistan to the International Monetary Fund for a loan.
Addressing a public meeting in Dera Ismail Khan in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province on Monday, he said the State Bank was not answerable to Pakistan after the debt agreement with the IMF, reports Dawn newspaper.
He said the SBP had not lent a single rupee to the federal government since 2019. Criticizing the government over 'poor' economic policies, Rehman said more and more taxes were being imposed on the people who were already struggling to pay for food, medicines and utilities.
He said electricity has become not affordable for the common man.
“The government is fulfilling a global agenda but we will not allow it to turn us into a slave nation,” he said.
