Now all the policies of Pakistan will be formed on the advice of International Monetary Fund: Ameerul Azim

LAHORE, Feb 13 (SABAH): Secretary General Jamaat-e-Islami Pakistan and candidate for NA-135, Ameerul Azim has said that now all the policies of Pakistan will be formed on the advice of International Monetary Fund (IMF). He said that the interest based system has destroyed the economy of Pakistan, adding that interest based economic system, corruption and inflation should be ended. He said that petrol, gas and other edibles should be made cheaper, adding that the hoarders and adulteration mafia should be brought to justice while carrying out strict legislation.

This was stated by Ameerul Azim while addressing the workers convention at Nawab Town area of Lahore. JI candidate for PP-166 Abdul Qayyum Gujjar also addressed the participants of the convention.

Ameerul Azim said that the conditions of the loan given by IMF now are very tough, adding that more burden will be put on the masses, which are already facing inflation. He said that the prices of petrol, gas, electricity and edibles will be further increased and the poor people will be deprived of two times meals.
