Minister for Finance Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar says Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan is responsible for economic crisis in the country.

He was addressing a presser in Islamabad on Friday.

The Finance Minister said Imran Khan is now defaming the country by spreading false propaganda of default.

He said the country should be kept first and challenges are being managed. He said the inflation reached historic high during the PTI government’s tenure and the rupee depreciated due to failed economy policies.

Reacting to Imran Khan's latest statement, the Finance Minister said his speech was incorrect and devoid of economic context.
