PTI letter to IMF: Nawaz says no political party can do so
MNP – Commenting on a letter written by the PTI to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), three-time former prime minister Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said no political party could so and it was up to the people to deduce the result.
He was responding to the questions asked by reporters after his arrival at the Parliament House to attend the inaugural session of newly-elected National Assembly.
“They can write such letters. It is their tradition,” Nawaz said – a reference to the PTI’s practices and actions in the past, including the sit-in staged in 2014 and the May 9 violence.
Similarly, Shehbaz Sharif – the PML-N president who will soon assume the prime minister office for a second term – said the letter written to the IMF was yet another exhibit of anti-state approach.
No one should have any doubt that the PTI founder wanted to completely destroy the country, Shehbaz said while describing the stunt as condemnable.
Separately, PML-N Hamza Shehbaz described the latest move as a repeat of May 9, but said their attempt to set the country’s economy on fire would fail.
