PPP Senator Raza Rabbani has said incarcerated PTI chief Imran Khan’s letter to the International Monetary Fund is a “direct invitation for foreign intervention in Pakistan’s internal affairs”.
A day earlier, PTI lawyers said Imran would write to the IMF urging it to call for an independent audit of the Feb 8 general elections before it continues talks with Islamabad.
In a statement today, Rabbani condemned the move and said that it appeared to “be an agenda point to try to make Pakistan default, when not in power”.
“No international monetary agency or foreign governments have the right to interfere in the internal affairs of our country,” he said, adding that Pakistan was not a “lackey state but a sovereign country”.
