LONDON, Nov. 22 (INP): Former Finance Minter Ishaq Dar said that the present government took a long time in properly dealing with IMF, that reflects its inefficacy and bad-governance.

Taking part in a TV’s program, he said when he was at the helms affairs in the country he timely handled the matters with the IMF, taking care of the national interest in a best possible way.

The government of Imran Khan wasted a considerable time in getting credit facility from IMF, Ishaq Dar said adding the government of PML in the past and even the government of former President Pervez Musharraf have not taken so much time in finalizing the matters with International Monetary Fund.

Ishaq Dar contended that the government’s performance, getting financial support from the friendly countries is also quite poor. The people could well judge what they gained from the friends. He was the view that the country could not be run through such a way.

The PTI’s government lacks proper financial plan, and it had not done any homework before coming into power. From the day one, the PTI’s leadership is just weeping and crying on financial matters. Such a depressing behavior is highly discouraging for foreign investment in the country, he added.

The Former finance Minister went on add, the PML’s government was well prepared when it took over reign of power. It had a comprehensive plan for dealing with the IMF and handling the burden of foreign debts, that was left by the past government of Pakistan People Party.
