DERA ISMAIL KHAN: Jamiat Ulema-i-Islam-Fazl chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman on Saturday said the agreements made by the last PTI-led federal government with the International Monetary Fund were leading Pakistan to debt default.
“Hadn’t we [the then opposition] ousted the Imran government, the country would have defaulted on loans,” the JUI-F chief told reporters here.
Mr Fazl said the biggest challenge for the Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif-led administration was the revival of national economy.He said the flash floods had caused large-scale damage to public life and property and crops, so the government was carrying out massive relief and rehabilitation activities.
“Our [federal government’s] focus is on the rehabilitation of flood victims,” he said.
Without naming names, the JUI-F chief said some politicians were playing negative politics on the monsoon disaster but their designs won’t succeed.
