ISLAMABAD, Aug 29(ABC): Former finance minister and PTI leader Asad Umar called out the PML-N and PPP leaderships for congratulating the nation as the International Monetary Fund (IMF) revived the Extended Fund Facility (EFF) programme for Pakistan.
On Monday, the IMF Board approved the much-awaited seventh and eighth reviews of the stalled $6 billion Pakistan programme.
Finance Minister Miftah Ismail congratulated the nation for the revival of the IMF programme and thanked Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif for saving the country from default.
However, former finance minister and senior PTI leader Asad Umar shared old statements of PM Shehbaz, Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto and other PML-N leaders over the IMF deal and said “now these shameless [people] are congratulating the nation over an IMF deal.”
