Pakistan Democratic Movement President Maulana Fazlur Rehman has said that the coalition government will achieve the economic targets and the elections will be held on time, 24NewsHD TV channel reported Friday.  

The Election Commission of Pakistan’s verdict has proved that Imran Khan is an international thief, he said while addressing a press conference after a meeting of ruling coalition partners.

The ECP  declared former prime minister Imran Khan disqualified in the Tosha Khana reference, stating the PTI chief committed dishonesty and the commission has ordered criminal proceedings against him under Article 63(1)(P). 

 It adds Imran submitted a false declaration to the Election Commission and lied in his annual returns and some of the gifts retained from Toshakhana were concealed in his assets.

Fazl told the media that Imran Khan was deceiving the nation, he was a provoker and international thief. Today the nation has got rid of him, she said, adding that it is proven who is Sadiq and Amin.

Imran Khan inflicted big damage upon the national economy and brought Pakistan to the brink of collapse. He said since the coalition government is quite aware of its responsibilities, it has been striving hard to put the economy back on track.

Electricity tariff will be brought down, he added. He praised Ishaq Dar, the federal finance minister, for working hard for the revival of the economy, saying Ishaq Dar has been doing his best to bring the dollar value down.

As Pakistan’s name has been excluded from the FATF grey list, the PDM head said it showed the coalition government is in the right direction. "It is a blessed day ...on this day the nation has been saved from a thief and our economic endeavors bore fruit," Fazl said greeting the nation on the FATF announcement. 

FATF president Raja Kumar announced this in a press conference in Paris. A decision to this effect was taken in a four-day FATF Plenary session held in Paris from October 16 to 21.
