ISLAMABAD:  Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan lashed out at the imported government for plunging the country into myriad problems and said the government, brought in through regime change conspiracy, has wreaked havoc with the economy.

PTI Chairman in a statement on Friday that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and World Bank reports testified that the imported government failed to prevent the economy going into tailspin despite inheriting a stabilized economy moving on an upward trajectory.

He said that this was reflected in the Economic Survey which identified the PTI government’s economic performance as the best in the past 70 years in terms of growth rate (6%), industry, agriculture, employment, construction, exports, remittances and tax collection – at an all-time high.

“What we left behind and how the imported government, brought in through regime change conspiracy, has wreaked havoc with the economy,” he added.

 “Now Pakistan faces unprecedented inflation hitting everyone, unemployment, food insecurity and rupee in freefall,” Imran Khan said and added the imported government is completely directionless.

The PTI Chairman stated: “The only achievement of this cabal of crooks has been to get another NRO for the billions they looted from Pakistan. The question the whole nation is asking is: Who is responsible for this conspiracy against Pakistan?”
