In a speech to Parliament, Pakistani opposition leader Maulana Fazlur Rehman compared India and Pakistan's trajectories, pointing out that while India is on a path to becoming a "global superpower," Pakistan faces the threat of bankruptcy. Rehman questioned who is responsible for this situation, considering both countries gained independence together in August 1947.
Pakistan recently received a $3 billion bailout package from the International Monetary Fund (IMF), with the agency disbursing its final tranche on Monday. The country continues to seek additional funding from the IMF due to ongoing financial difficulties. Rehman criticized Pakistan's recent general elections, alleging interference from forces outside the establishment and bureaucracy.
He questioned the legitimacy of the elections, stating that neither winners nor losers were satisfied with the outcome. Rehman also accused the current Parliament of compromising principles and "selling democracy." He argued that governments are formed behind closed doors and bureaucrats decide who becomes Prime Minister. He questioned how long they would rely on external forces to be elected.
