IMF's problem with Pakistan is not just a question of political strength of current government but a historical record of deception. Pakistan is probably the most unique country in being able to engage in self-deception to an absurd degree. In any other country, when the nation is on imminent financial collapse, if the finance minister spends his time thumbing through his scripture to agonize over what verse to post on his Twitter today, he would be removed from his position and admitted to a mental institution. In Pakistan, he gets celebrated as a man of faith pleading with God for intercession with great devotion.Rajapaksas had full majority but they were kicked out of power and the country using mob power and then IMF signed the contract with an unelected government in Sri Lanka.
