LAHORE: Maryam Nawaz, the vice president of Pakistan Muslim League–Nawaz (PML-N) has criticised the agreement between the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf government and International Monetary Fund (IMF).

“IMF or no IMF – the incompetent rulers were not sure. Finally when it does come, it’s a complete sell out of our sovereignty and rightly REJECTED by stock market. After just 9 months, country is on the brink of economic disaster,” Maryam tweeted on Monday.

The PML-N leader went on to say that within nine months the incompetent government had brought the country to a complete economic collapse. “The masses are suffering while rulers enjoy perks & privileges. All sectors of the economy stand at the verge of disaster. The experiment has miserably failed.”

On Monday Pakistan and the IMF finalised an agreement on a package worth $6 billion over a period of three years. In its press release IMF said it aims to support the federal government’s structural reform agenda during the next three years.

PML-N, PPP leaders slam IMF deals
Reacting to the agreement, PML-N spokesperson Marriyum Aurangzeb said it was better for Prime Minister Imran Khan "to have committed suicide [making good on his promise] than to have agreed to the $6 billion deal" with the IMF.

PPP Senator Sherry Rehman posted on Twitter, "The journey from #TabdeeliSarkar to #GhulamiSarkar is now complete. Other Govts ran IMF programs but nothing like the creeping coup of the economy that’s been happening since new Govt came in. “We will hang ourselves but never go to the IMF” ringing in all our ears..."
