Jeez, the mindset of Pakistani and their hate for IK boggles my mind. I swear you people deserve Nawaz, Zardari, Bilawa and Maryam.
Any Govt would've had to go to IMF based on Pakistan's circumstances, name it PML-N, PPP, PTI or any other Govt.
Its has been said gazillion times that loans were taken, because we had to pay interest on billions borrowed by previous Govts - what is so difficult in it to understand?
More to the point, IK was reluctant to go to IMF in the first place, he tried all his options and eventually had to go. Any other Govt wouldve went straight to IMF from the get-go. KSA and UAE along with China helped us but we all saw how KSA has blackmailed Pakistan as well. Since most Pakistani's have goldfish memory, many would've forgotten this already, I am certain.
On contrary, if its a must to raise taxes than tax the elites based on their earning. The more you earn the money you pay in Tax - simple.
Last but not the least, Pakistani's have blue tears in their eyes when they hear this word "tax", however, on contrary, they are ready to spend million on tickets to see the finale of "Mera Pass Tum Ho" in cinema - Mashallah.
