Miftah Ismail blames Ishaq Dar for economic crisis

Senior leader of Pakistan Muslim League (N) and former finance minister Miftah Ismail has said that if they had fired me but had brought in a competent person, the economic situation would not have been what it is now.

He expressed these views in Dunya News’ program “Aaj Kamran Khan Saath”. He said, “They would have called me, but they would have brought an economist-type person. There are more capable people in the Muslim League, in the Muslim League.” There are also capable people like Ahsan Iqbal, if they were brought, things would have improved.”

Former finance minister Miftah Ismail said that Dar Sahib’s thinking is not according to the times, he used to say that he will show his eyes to the IMF, now show his eyes, the foreign exchange reserves have been brought to 2.9 billion dollars, you have 35 rupees per A liter of petrol had to be increased.

Miftah Ismail, using harsh words, said that your thinking is reversed, you said that I will not talk to the IMF, if this agreement had been reviewed in October, we would not be standing here today.

The former finance minister said, “I don’t understand how you allowed the country to reach 2.8 or 2.9 billion dollars. Why did you increase the risk of default, what benefit did you get, what did you talk to the exporter for three to four months. Punishment. You sold cheap petrol, you shut down people’s factories in your ego.”
