Imran Khan, Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), addressed his supporters on Monday about the alarming economic crisis in the country.
He started off by clarifying that he was not only addressing the nation but was also speaking to the institutions as economic deterioration would affect the entire country.
Khan said that amid the ongoing economic downturn, small and large-scale businesses are the most affected. He added that exports are also declining gradually.
“This might be the biggest economic crisis that this country has ever witnessed,” the PTI chief said.
Moreover, he urged the business community to speak up. “I want to tell all of you that you will be responsible for the destruction of the country if you do not speak up,” he said.
He pointed out that no one is ready to invest in Pakistan as they have lost trust in the country’s economy.
Khan, concluding the address, said that the only solution to the crisis is free and fair elections.
The former Prime Minister has been asking for early general elections, however, the government has said that polls will take place on their scheduled time in October 2023.
