Major opposition leader, Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, slammed Prime Minister Imran Khan asking him to explain to the people why his government was compelled to repay $3 billion loan to Saudi Arabia and what it was going to cost the nation for taking a commercial loan from China to clear the Saudi soft loan.

“Imran Khan had promised to break Pakistan free from the debt trap, but since coming to power he has buried Pakistan under loans, taking the begging bowl everywhere he goes,” he said in a statement as quoted by The News International.

“Every person in Pakistan is paying a terrible price for the tsunami of Imran Khan’s transformation,” he added.

Bhutto said the countrymen are paying for the poor economic policies of the Imran Khan regime.

“With the per capita debt now at Rs175,000, every Pakistani is paying the price for Imran’s Khan's incompetence,” he said.

Targeting Imran Khan further, he said the common people would continue to suffer unprecedented inflation, poverty, and unemployment if the federal government push Pakistan further into debt and compound it with their corruption and mismanagement.
