World News Desk: Pakistan’s former prime minister and founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has urged the International Monetary Fund to stop assisting Pakistan due to rigged elections.
He will write a letter to IMP, said PTI leader Ali Zafar on Thursday.
“Imran Khan will issue a letter to the IMF. The charter of IMF, EU, and other organisations stipulates that they can function or provide loans to a country only if there’s good governance,” Zafar told journalists.
According to a TV report, Zafar claimed that the most important section of their charter is that a country should be democratic.
“If there’s no democracy, then neither can these institutions function in those countries, nor should they,” he said.
Pakistan secured a short-term $3 billion programme from the IMF last year which helped to avert a sovereign debt default. It will run out next month and securing a new and much bigger one is widely seen as the priority for the new administration.
