Imran Khan to Petition IMF Over Pakistan Aid Amid Election Dispute

Imran Khan, the founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), intends to draft a letter to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) urging the cessation of financial support to Pakistan, citing “rigged elections.”

PTI’s leader Ali Zafar, on Thursday, during a press briefing following a visit with Khan at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, said that the governance policies of the IMF, European Union (EU), and similar entities mandate the provision of loans or assistance exclusively under conditions of sound governance.

He emphasized democracy as a fundamental requirement within their charters, stating, “Without democracy, these institutions neither operate in such countries nor should they.”

Zafar argued that the essence of democracy lies in the integrity of elections, highlighting widespread perceptions of electoral manipulation that allegedly disadvantaged PTI’s candidates in the recent polls.

Imran Khan will write a letter to the IMF, calling on it to honor its own charter by attaching discussions on a future loan program to a democratic government where there is good governance, said Barrister Ali Zafar, who met Imran Khan today inside Adiala Jail.

Senator Zafar articulated concerns over the legitimacy of seeking IMF aid without thoroughly examining the election outcomes. He also expressed disappointment over the denial of visitation rights to Khan’s wife, Bushra Bibi, who is detained at their Bani Gala residence, now designated as a sub-jail.

In 2022, Shaukat Tarin, a former PTI leader, advised the party’s finance ministers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab to communicate to the IMF the inability to meet prior commitments, attributing this to the country’s flood crisis.

Pakistan, having secured a $3 billion short-term arrangement from the IMF last year, which forestalled a potential sovereign default, faces the expiry of this program next month. Negotiating a new, more substantial deal is deemed crucial by the new government.

Following the formation of a coalition government by the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) and their allies, PTI, alongside certain other parties, have dismissed the election outcomes and initiated nationwide protests.
