The IMF and Its Economic Hit-Men have Made Pakistan Defenseless Prey for the International Usury Mafia

The latest State Bank report exposes the regime’s tall claims regarding improved foreign exchange reserves and reduced trade deficit, because of foreign investment. The main reason behind the recent large inflow of dollars is foreign investment in treasury bills, which were offered for three months at one of the world’s highest interest rates currently, 13.6 percent. To plunder Pakistan’s economic resources through back-breaking interest payments, the international usurious mafia was facilitated by the IMF and its two key economic hit-men, the Adviser on Finance, Abdul Hafiz Sheikh and the State Bank Governor, Raza Baqir. The surrender of Pakistan’s economic sovereignty by the Bajwa-Imran regime is unprecedented even in our neo-colonialist history, handing over fiscal and monetary policy to IMF. The international usurious mafia is securing funding at very low interest rates, and in some cases even at negative rates, from international markets. The US Federal Reserves lowered its interests rate thrice this year, London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (LIBOR) is 1.9 percent and in Switzerland it is negative, -0.75 percent. All the while Pakistan is offering them a return at seven times their liability. Because of IMF policies, the international usurious mafia is making a financial killing, for which Pakistan has paid a huge price.

Pakistan’s rulers invited war from Allah (swt) and RasulAllah (saaw) by making Pakistan defenseless prey for the international usurious mafia. Maddened by the touch of the devil, the rulers feel no shame in lying to the people regarding their claim to make Pakistan like the Madinah State. Desperate for external support and desire to be applauded by the West, they have surrendered before every colonialist demand. It was upon the regime to save more than three thousand billion rupees, by refusing to pay back interest on loans, which amounts to more than five times the total federal development budget and more than twice the defense budget. It was upon it to stop paying interest on internal loans, which would have been warmly received by the people. It was upon it to take practical steps to issue the currency based on the Dinar and Dirham based on real innate strength of gold and silver, rescuing Pakistan from the turmoil created by the dollar currency.

Had the Bajwa-Imran regime been sincere to the Muslims and Islam, it would have made way for Nussrah to be given to Hizb ut Tahrir which has the complete blue print for the Islamic Khilafah state, to resolve the issues confronted by the Ummah. Even now the regime can easily secure guidance on the Khilafah state policies from the Official Spokesman of Hizb ut Tahrir in Pakistan, Naveed Butt, who is confined to their dungeons until now, having been abducted over seven years ago. Hizb ut Tahrir alone has the know how to cut the roots of colonialism in Pakistan and all over the Muslim Land, paving the way for the rise of the Ummah and Islam on the world stage. It’s time for the sincere amongst the people of power to end this colonialist inspired destruction once and for all and it is already late for them to do so.
