Pakistan has been facing political and economic crisis for a long time. The country’s prominent leader Imran Khan has been in jail for a long time. On the other hand, after the recent general elections, a coalition government has been formed under the leadership of Shahbaz Sharif. However, once again the signs of political crisis have started coming to the fore in Pakistan. The reason for this is the growing conflict between Pakistan’s President Asif Ali Zardari and Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif. Let us know what is the reason for this political crisis.
Controversy over IMF loan
Actually, President Zardari’s party is an important part of the Pakistan government. But now a dispute has started between the two. Actually, last year the IMF had approved the agreement to give Pakistan a loan of three billion US dollars. However, recently the country’s Finance Minister Mohammad Aurangzeb has warned that if Pakistan does not increase its tax revenue, then it will continue to need to take loans in the future as well.
We will take decisive steps – Zardari
The President of Pakistan has said that the IMF loan is a test for the people. He also criticized Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif on this issue. Zardari said that we know how governments are formed and toppled. We will not leave the people on their own. Zardari has said that his Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) will take decisive steps.
Who is with Shahbaz?
The government led by Shahbaz Sharif includes PPPP, Muttahida Qaumi Movement Pakistan (MQM (P)), Pakistan Muslim League (PML), Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP), Pakistan Muslim League (Zia) (PML (Z)), Balochistan Awami Party (BAP), National Party (NP) parties.
What is the political equation of Pakistan?
The Parliament of Pakistan has a total of 336 seats. There is a coalition government led by Shahbaz Sharif. However, there are also a large number of independent candidates supported by former Prime Minister Imran Khan in the Parliament. Zardari’s PPP is the biggest ally in the coalition. In such a situation, if Zardari withdraws his support, Shahbaz Sharif’s government may be in trouble.
