I have advised president to dissolve NA: PM Imran

Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday vowed to steer the country out of the prevailing crisis and get the affairs in order.

He was speaking at the launching ceremony of ‘New Pakistan Housing Project’ in Islamabad.

Acknowledging the public’s woes in view of the recent dip in the currency and mounting debt, PM Imran defended his government’s decision to approach the International Monetary Fund for loans.

“We want loans so that we can pay off the loans,” he said, adding that “if the money laundering had been prevented then there would have been no need for loans”.

He said the government would need three to six months to set the house in order.

“Stay strong. It is [only a temporary] phase. I will steer the country out of these [difficult] times,” he promised.
