Federal Finance Minister Miftah Ismail asked Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Finance Minister Taimur Khan Jhagra to resign and PTI Senator Shaukat Tarin to quit politics for trying to sabotage Pakistan\u2019s interests after audio leaks of their conversation regarding the resumption of the crucial International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme surfaced on Monday.<\/p>\n
In one of the audio clips, that are being widely played on television channels, Tarin can be heard asking Jhagra to write a letter to the federal government to let it know that KP would not be able to commit to a provincial surplus in light of the recent floods that have wreaked havoc in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
In the other audio, Tarin can be heard asking Punjab Finance Minister Mohsin Leghari to do the same.<\/p>\n
Running a provincial surplus, which had been agreed to by all provinces earlier this year, was one of the key requirements for Pakistan\u2019s IMF programme and the release of the loan tranche by the lender.<\/p>\n
In his presser, Ismail referred to both the audio leaks as well as a letter Jhagra had written to him last week in which he conveyed his administration\u2019s inability to provide a provincial surplus this year.<\/p>\n
The federal minister alleged that Jhagra had sent the letter to the IMF before sending it to him. \u201cI checked with them (the IMF) within an hour [of receiving the letter] and they already had it. Are we children? Am I mad? If you\u2019re clever, can we not recognise it? And then you are defending it.<\/p>\n
\u201cImran Khan should ask the nation for forgiveness. Taimur Jhagra should resign and Shaukat Tarin should quit politics. Is this why you do politics?\u201d he thundered.<\/p>\n
