In a press conference in Islamabad, Dar, who was sworn in as the finance czar in September last year, blamed the previous PTI government for pushing the nation of 220 million people to the brink of default; claiming that it was the coalition government that saved the country by prioritising the state over their politics, The News reported.
He recalled that when the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) ousted Khan through a no-confidence motion in April, the coalition governments leaders had decided to keep aside all political interests in the states interest, The News reported.
My presser today will be a reality check for Imran Khan, Dar said angrily as the PTI leaders have been calling him out since the rupee plunged to a historic low of 285.09 a day earlier, while Februarys inflation hit nearly a 50-year high of 31.5 per cent.
