Speaking to the media in Rawalpindi, PTI Senator Ali Zafar said: “I want to give important information which Khan sahib said. A letter will be issued from him to the International Monetary Fund.”

He said that the IMF, the European Union and other organisations had a charter which stated that good governance was needed for working in the country or giving a loan.

“The most important condition for good governance is democracy,” he said. He further said that the people’s mandate was stolen “in the darkness of the night” during the Feb 8 polls.

He said that if elections were not free and fair, then any organisation would avoid giving a “loan” to such a country. “Because that loan will further burden the people,” he said.

He said that the party wanted an audit of the election results and this condition would be put in front of the IMF.
