‘Our PM is a beggar’: PTI deletes old tweet as govt approaches IMF

[maithil]

With the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government finally making the “difficult decision” of approaching the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for a bailout to address the mounting balance of payments crisis faced by the country, the ruling party has drawn the ire of thousands of social media users.

Amid the criticism that PTI is facing over its “double standards” – censuring previous governments’ practice of seeking loans and resorting to the same – the official Twitter account of the party’s Lahore wing has deleted a tweet that criticised the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government for approaching the IMF.

“Our prime minister begs to IMF like beggars,” the tweet, published by PTI Lahore Official (@PTIOfficialLHR) back in October 2015, read.

Ever since the government announced approaching the monetary fund, netizens had been retweeting the said post until the tweet “disappeared”.

The Twitterati, however, are continuing to remind the government of its earlier statements by flooding the microblogging website with screenshots of the said post. “Is that another U-Turn,” they are questioning.

Replying to @mehreenzahra
Sweet @PTIofficial deleted their tweet. For the record it was about how the #Pakistan prime minister (Nawaz Sharif, at the time) was a beggar of the IMF. Now their own government is headed for a bailout. Enough said. pic.twitter.com/T5Wqw2Hr28

@PTIofficial deleted their tweet, it was about how the #Pakistan prime minister (#NawazSharif, at the time) was a beggar of the #IMF. Now their own government is headed for a bailout.@ImranKhanPTI

Meanwhile, a few are using the same tweet to term Prime Minister Imran Khan what his party had once called former premier Nawaz Sharif.

Guys this media cell has been activated and now you see these low-lifes swarming the forum like locust...these corpse-eaters were absent for quite some time since their payment were blocked and SS had deactivated the media cell. Now with the release of their mother-queen, the larvas will be visible

That's funny and ironic rather. Instead of really calling out others, you have to admit, PTI should be a little more careful because they don't know what they could end up in themselves in the future.

PTI is in fact too careful, kind and tolerant... If the govt decides to use its power, we won't see these flies buzzing around.

We need to keep a count of the times dalla dollar dar lied about things. There is what you inherit and what you say. If only the two were alike.

I am simply saying they should be careful with what they say because it's now biting them now that they're in the Government. No need to get triggered.

What does PTI needs to be careful about? The morons who are jumping here up and down like idiots, they should show where IK or Asad Umar said that we will not go to IMF? From day 1 Asad Umar is saying that we have not rejected any options including that of IMF and all options are on the table. We will explore each and every option before going to IMF.
The peathcer league is doing nothing but propaganda along with its Indian buddies. Sane Pakistanis should not fall for it.

Subcontinental politicians and the parties have excelled in the art of not only humiliating themselves, but their nations in the process too!
