IMF deal is practically dead. But to revive it, low level staff have prodded the government to increase petrol price to PKR320. This is a step in that direction. Result: crushing inflation, increased poverty and further economic meltdown.

But wasn’t the government going to reduce the petrol price through a subsidy ? . Yar Dar in action .
@Tulukan Mairandi, This goon deliberately derailed the IMF deal using his filthy mouth. When in need even a mentally retard person will use diplomatic language for an international institution.
Even musadaq malik announcement of petrol subsidy was a tool to further confuse and derail IMF deal for 2, 3 weeks.
They are on to destroy this country entirely, paving the way for the return of dajjal (N.S) who will plead in person to KSA and bring a couple of billions to gain some political points.
