Imran Khan, the founding member of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Prime Minister, has raised alarms about an impending financial crisis and potential public unrest reminiscent of Sri Lanka's struggles, as reported by media sources. Khan reiterated his past predictions, expressing concerns about Pakistan facing a situation similar to Sri Lanka, characterized by escalating inflation and widespread hardships, according to The Express Tribune.
Addressing the media from Rawalpindi's Adiala Jail, where he is currently detained, Khan criticized what he perceived as pervasive deception within the nation. He condemned the recent general elections as fraudulent and accused institutions of being compromised.
"The erosion of institutions is evident. PTI was unfairly sidelined during the elections. Despite the electorate's discontent on polling day, the desired change wasn't realized through votes. By usurping the mandate, they have shattered the nation's aspirations," Khan asserted, as cited in the report.
With Pakistan gearing up to secure the final installment of a loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the PTI founder warned that the populace would take to the streets in response to a fresh wave of inflation, as reported by Geo News.
Khan also remarked that while voters expressed their discontent during polling, the desired change through democratic means was not acknowledged.
