- Imran Khan lashes out at govt for rupee depreciation
ISLAMABAD: Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Tuesday came down hard on the federal government over massive depreciation in the value of the Pakistani Rupee against the US dollar.
The comments came as the Pakistani rupee hit an all-time low on Tuesday against the US dollar, reaching Rs222 in the interbank market despite an announcement by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) regarding the resumption of the multi-billion-dollar loan programme.
The local currency continued its downward trend today and depreciated further by Rs6.90 against the greenback.
Taking to Twitter, the former premier pointed out: “When US regime conspiracy’s [Vote of No-Confidence] was tabled [dollar] was at Rs 178.”
According to Imran Khan, the Rupee has fallen to 224 against the US dollar despite the agreement with International Monetary Fund (IMF).
“The economic meltdown shows Sharifs never had any expertise in running economy or administration. Their only expertise is looting, money laundering [and] getting NROs,” the PTI Chairman added.
He further said that the nation will hold accountable all those responsible for regime change conspiracy and bringing Pakistan to this sorry state of affairs.
