Pakistan Information and Broadcasting minister said that some “miscreants” associated with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf tried to sabotage Pakistan’s deal with the International Monetary Fund (IMF), sources.

The deal was crucial for Pakistan’s economic stability, the minister emphasised.

His statement comes after the IMF refused to accept a letter from the sources during a protest outside their Washington offices, where officials asked demonstrators to submit the letter via email instead.

Sources, urged IMF Managing Director Kristalina Georgieva to “withhold any further financial assistance or loan disbursements to Pakistan until a credible investigation by an independent body” clears it of all rigging allegations, sources reported.
