Islamabad, Oct 21: Prime Minister Imran Khan has strongly criticised the political bureaucracy and police department for creating hurdles for his government at administrative level.
Talking to a select group of journalists in Islamabad on Saturday, he said problems were being created at administrative level to disrupt government’s functionary by same people,
who were appointed by the previous government, Express News reported.
“I have come into power after 22 years of struggle and therefore have the patience necessary to deal with such matters,” he added.
Commenting on the issue of national debt, PM Khan said the last government had increased the foreign debt to RS36 trillion and the country would go bankrupt if the PTI
government does not borrow money in next two months.
He said the real issue in approaching IMF is loan conditions. However, knocking IMF’s doors would be the last option for this government as “we are also trying to control the
situation through some other sources,” he remarked. “We are getting positive messages from Saudi Arabia and China. Both countries have already been approached for financial
assistance,” he added.
Speaking about ongoing accountability process in the country, the premier said the opposition’s hue and cry was an attempt to avoid arrests. “They know none of them will be
able to come out clean in corruption cases. Therefore, they have started making noise right from the first session of parliament,” he remarked.
The prime minister clarified that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was an independent institution and his government had no direct links to it, adding that corruption cases
against the opposition leaders were not initiated during the three-month-old tenure of his party’s government.
