IMF deal still not secured despite raising fuel prices: minister

Islamabad: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has asserted that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) deal is still not secured despite raising the prices of petroleum products.

Talking to journalists on Sunday, the interior minister held the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) responsible for the current inflation and deteriorating economic situation.

Rana Sanaullah said that the Imran Khan-led regime laid economic mines for the current government, adding that had befooled the masses with the slogans of so-called ‘change and accountability’.

“PTI government had misused the national resources besides taking record foreign loans in the history of the country,” he said. Sanaullah further said that the government had raised petrol prices by around Rs100 but failed to secure the IMF deal.
