Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari has said Prime Minister Imran Khan should apologise for the IMF deal which is believed to have ruined the economy.

“It is not enough for the ‘selected’ Prime Minister Imran Khan to admit his mistake in the IMF deal. He should have listened to us before entering into the deal instead of now reviewing it,” Zardari told The News International in a statement.

Bilawal told the newspaper the buck stopped with Imran Khan and that he could not stave off criticism and save himself by scapegoating others.

“First, he claimed that he would rather consider suicide than sign a deal with the IMF. Then after delaying until terms got harsher, he defended and signed onto the conditions that have crippled Pakistan, and now he is making another U-turn on the policies he championed about a month ago.

"Imran Khan makes mistakes, acknowledges those mistakes and then goes out and repeats the same mistake all over again. This is a country, not an elementary school,” he added.
