Crying foul
Published in The News on March 18, 2024
After every election in
the country, the losers always cry foul and refuse to accept that the elections
were free and fair. However, as far as I can recall, never has a losing party
appealed to foreigners to interfere in our internal affairs. Even in the
aftermath of the extremely controversial 2018 elections, the losing parties
tried not to damage Pakistan’s image abroad. But today, the party which
indirectly got the largest number of appears to be doing its best to hurt the
country. Its leader has asked the IMF to tie future economic aid to an audit of
the 2024 election results. A few days ago, some of its supporters even staged a
demonstration outside IMF headquarters in Washington DC, trying to undermine
the mandate of the current government. What next? Why not ask the IMF or the
World Bank to conduct fresh elections in the country?
