Beleaguered PTI relishes IMF meeting
- PTI’s information secretary Raoof Hasan says the meeting is proof of the party’s importance in the country’s political setup
ISLAMABAD: The International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) delegation’s meeting with Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman is proof of the party’s importance in the country’s political setup, PTI’s information secretary Raoof Hasan said on Saturday.
“The meeting of the IMF delegation proves the political relevance of PTI,” he said, adding that it established PTI’s political relevance beyond any doubt.
Hasan alleged that the worst state brutality was being used to neutralize his party; however, the world was eager to work with the PTI chairman as he would be the next elected prime minister of the country.
