LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday praised President Arif Alvi for rejecting the federal government’s request to approve an ordinance seeking to impose new taxes to raise additional revenue in line with with the conditions of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to revive the stalled rescue package of 6.5 billion dollars.

Addressing a group of columnists at his Zaman Park residence in Lahore, the ousted prime minister fired a salvo at the PDM-led government over the audio leak saga, saying that the judiciary is being pressured and blackmailed through audio tapes, adding that the nation will not accept these “fascist actions”.

Taking a dig at former COAS Qamar Javed Bajwa, the PTI chief said he violated oath when he confessed in a column to taping conversations. Imran added “Bajwa said that the US is not happy with our stance on the Russia-Ukraine war and that is why he issued a controversial statement on the issue.”

“The new finance law in the parliament will bring a storm of inflation in the country. The economic indicators were positive under his regime, remittances, agriculture, industry and employment increased, investments came and people’s confidence in Pakistan was increasing,” Imran added.
