Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman and Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari on Monday accused former prime minister Imran Khan of “sabotaging” the IMF bailout programme amid raging floods in the country. He was referring to audio leaks involving former finance minister Shaukat Tareen and incumbent finance ministers of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). In a series of tweet from his official Twitter handle on Monday, Bilawal said, “Pakistan is devastated by floods, 1,500+ people killed, 33 million affected, 4 provinces Pakhtunkhwa, south Punjab, Balochistan & Sindh. People have lost everything. Every Pakistani should be doing all they can to help their fellow citizens.” He went on to say that former PM Imran chose this moment to exploit his governments in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab to “sabotage our national economic interests!” “This is a betrayal of our country & our people. First he entered into deal with the IMF [and] then he almost pushed the country to default to save his PM(ship),” the PPP chief added.
