According to details, the dossier, along with a letter, has been handed over to Mahir Binci, the IMF’s representative in Pakistan, at the fund’s Islamabad office. The submission includes a report from the NGO Pattan about the electoral process and alleged discrepancies in the results.
Issues highlighted in PTI’s dossier
- The letter underscores governance shortcomings, transparency issues, issues related to the rule of law, and the alleged erosion of democratic values.
- The PTI has accused authorities of manipulating election results and exerting pressure on the party through various tactics.
- The letter references concerns over political suppression and rights abuses.
