Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has reportedly written to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), urging them to conduct an audit of the election results before approving any fresh loan for Islamabad, as per Pakistani media sources.Confirming the move on Friday, Khan stated during a hearing of the £190 million reference at Adiala Jail that the letter had been drafted and would be dispatched promptly. Expressing concerns over the potential consequences of the loan, Khan emphasized that it could exacerbate poverty and further burden the nation. Despite his warnings, the IMF indicated its willingness to collaborate with the new Pakistani government on Saturday, disregarding Khan's plea, according to the news report.The news came as Julie Kozak, head of the IMF's communications department, said she "looks forward to working with the new government on policies to ensure prosperity and macroeconomic stability for all citizens of Pakistan." The Washington-based IMF has not yet commented on Khan's much-publicised move to write the letter.

Former Prime Minister Imran Khan, founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) party, has reportedly written to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), urging them to conduct an audit of the election results before approving any fresh loan for Islamabad, as per Pakistani media sources.
Confirming the move on Friday, Khan stated during a hearing of the £190 million reference at Adiala Jail that the letter had been drafted and would be dispatched promptly.
"If the country receives a loan under such circumstances, who will bear the responsibility of repayment?" he questioned, addressing the media.
Expressing concerns over the potential consequences of the loan, Khan emphasized that it could exacerbate poverty and further burden the nation. Despite his warnings, the IMF indicated its willingness to collaborate with the new Pakistani government on Saturday, disregarding Khan's plea, according to the news report.
The news came as Julie Kozak, head of the IMF's communications department, said she "looks forward to working with the new government on policies to ensure prosperity and macroeconomic stability for all citizens of Pakistan."
The Washington-based IMF has not yet commented on Khan's much-publicised move to write the letter.
