Imran cautions of potential Sri Lanka-style crisis in Pakistan due to soaring inflation

Imran Khan Warns of Financial Crisis and Public Unrest in Pakistan

Rawalpindi, March 13 (IANS) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan has raised concerns over a potential financial crisis and public unrest in Pakistan, similar to what Sri Lanka has experienced, as reported by The Express Tribune.

Khan, currently detained at Rawalpindi’s Adiala Jail, criticized the alleged deception within the country and condemned the recent general elections as fraudulent. He claimed that institutions have been compromised and the PTI was not allowed to compete in the elections.

“Institutions have been destroyed… By snatching the mandate, they have dashed the nation’s hopes,” Khan alleged. He also mentioned that voters expressed their discontent during polling day but the change through votes was not accepted.

As Pakistan prepares to seek the final tranche of loan from the IMF, Khan warned that the nation would take to the streets due to a new wave of inflation. He emphasized that despite voters seeking revenge during the polling day, the desire for change through votes was not acknowledged.

The PTI founder’s remarks highlight the growing concerns over economic stability and political integrity in Pakistan, signaling a potential crisis that could lead to public uproar and unrest. As the country navigates through these challenges, the future remains uncertain amidst escalating tensions and uncertainties.
