Munawar asks govt not to become ‘puppet’ of IMF
JI chief, Syed Munawar Hasan has warned the PML-N government against acting as “puppet” in the hands of IMF for putting the future generations in the slavery of Zionist monetary institutions.
Addressing a meeting on Friday, Munawar further warned the PML-N government that it had surpassed all previous governments in IMF slavery and poor people were already crushed under the heavy burden of IMF-imposed taxes and poverty, while the Zionist controlled body was forcing Pakistan on more anti-people measures.
He remarked that the privatisation had never been done in the interests of the nation and people, since its aim was to give national institutions in the ownership of greedy capitalists.
Munawar said as long as interest based economic system was not changed and reliance on foreign loans was not given up, country’s economy would never be able to recover from the crisis.
