LAHORE (92 News) - PTI chairman Imran Khan has said that there is no option except to go to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) otherwise the country could default.

The former prime minister said that economic stability had become impossible due to political instability. "Pakistan can achieve economic stability only through transparent elections.

He said that he had always opposed the support for the war against terrorism. "It does not mean I am an anti-America person. I have always believed that Pakistan should have relations with all western countries, especially America," he opined.
