With Imran Khan forced to leave his office as Prime Minister of Pakistan under a well-versed plan, now the incumbent Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and former leader of opposition in Pakistan’s parliament, Pakistan is plunging into deeper debt and financial crisis. So, PM Sharif is doing what his predecessors did the best, visiting friendly nations with a big begging bowl.

Pakistan holds the current world record of bailouts from the International Monetary Fund IMF. It is a staggering 22 times and Pakistan wants the 23^rd bailouts very badly. Pakistan needs to pay immediately USD 36 Billion but they have less than $10 Billion left in their foreign reserves as of 31^st May 2022. Pakistan wants to save these last remaining foreign reserves to import a maximum of two months’ worth of food and fuel for the nation. But they need to immediately pay $3.5 Billion in debt financing EMI of their $21 Billion external debts.

So, Pakistan went to their evergreen friend China first, then UAE and Saudi Arabia. Now, they are going to Turkey which is in even deeper financial trouble than Pakistan. China and the Arab world have already turned down Pakistan’s request and suggested going with IMF’s bailout package and then they will fill the gaps with some funding.

But to get IMF’s bailout for the 23^rd needs to follow a few difficult instructions which PM Sharif couldn’t follow as he will lose in the upcoming general elections in Pakistan.

So, what the IMF wants from Pakistan?

The IMF wants Pakistan to follow five things.

1. Reduce or even completely stop providing subsidies for fuel and electricity. Pakistan already followed this one and increased the fuel prices. They hiked petrol and diesel prices by at least 60 Pakistani Rupees. This way, currently the petrol price in Pakistan has crossed the PKR 200 mark.

2. Raise the income taxes for all Pakistani citizens.

3. Raise corporate taxes or tax on business persons or a business running on Pakistani soil.

4. Re-capitalize two private banks.

But PM Sharif doesn’t want to do any of these as he wants to save his chair just like any other politician as there can be an early election in Pakistan.

Imran Khan is calling out his political rivals on daily basis and making lots of comments during public rallies against the Shariff government. Imran Khan even threatened, many things are winding up together and can lead to a civil war. In his own words, Imran Khan is claiming that Pakistan can break into three parts or three new countries will form. Imran Khan also went on to say in an interview that, Pakistan may lose its nuclear weapons as the government may need to put them as a mortgage from the IMF bailout package.

The Other Troubles for Pakistan:

Sometimes, blaming India is not enough to vent the tensions in your country. Pakistan always uses India and Kashmir rhetoric to vent every tension. But not anymore. As Pakistan is facing a civil war-type situation the main responsibility of the situation must go to the Pakistani army establishments and puppet governments promoting hardcore Islamic terrorism.

The new troubles have three major parts and we will discuss them one after the other.

Problem 1: Food Shortage and Financial Crunch:

Pakistan is facing acute food shortages and soon they can go Sri Lanka’s way. The crisis is so hard that one Pakistani minister for Planning, Ahsan Iqbal, has asked the Pakistani population to stop drinking tea or at least reduce the amounts of tea they consume every day. Pakistani people consume around 3000 cups every second. Yes, every second, Pakistani people consume 3000 cups of tea which Pakistan imports from various parts of the world including Kenya and Uganda paying $400 million every year.

When your primary goal is to destroy India and kill all the Hindus, you don’t invest in the development of your country or build infrastructure that may support any industry. You also invest heavily in nuclear weapons. Pakistan did it and now they are simply going to sink under the pressure of the debts the governments have taken from various sources.

Pakistan is going to announce default any day now. But now, at this moment their all-weather friend China is not helping. The Saudis are not helping. The old ally USA which is accused of the removal of the former PM Imran Khan is waiting for the IMF’s discussion. Then Pakistani PM Sharif went to Türkiye which is performing even worse than Pakistan for financial help but he got nothing much from President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Currently, Pakistan is under $90.06 Billion in external debt and the foreign reserve is too little to import food. But Pakistan has spent a large amount of money to make more atom bombs in the last financial year. This just increased threats for India and other non-Muslim nations.

Problem 2: Extreme Radicalized Population:

Pakistan was separated from India under the name of religion and the Pakistani people became extremely radicalized over time. Pakistan is a home and breeding ground for the world’s top terrorist organizations. These terrorists have hurt many families and nations all over the world. But now, Pakistan is facing a new problem after the fall of Kabul last year.

One Pakistani Terrorist outfit TTP or Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan wants the country should run like Afghanistan. They are basically a terrorist outfit that is bred and supported by the Afghanistan Taliban. These organization has killed hundreds of Pakistani civilians and military personnel over the years.

Now, PM Sharif wants to release at least 30 and the number can go up to 100 arrested terrorists under a so-called ‘peace’ deal with TTP. If this happens, Pakistan will go ahead at full speed for a separation. Pakistan may break into three parts, where Baluchistan and Sindh go free while the Punjab and FATA provinces run by TTP a terrorist organization that may gain Pakistan’s Nuclear Arsenal soon. If that happens, we can expect one or more nuclear attacks on Indian soil any day.

Problem 3: Civil War in Pakistan:

Meanwhile, in Baluchistan, people are in full support of BLO, or the Baluchistan Liberation Organization to get freedom from Pakistan. Almost every day, they are targeting and killing Pakistani Security Forces personnel and Chinese civilians. Yes, China has invested a ton in the Gwadar port of Pakistan under the CPEC or China Pakistan Economic Corridor scheme.

A few days ago, a Balochi woman, a mother of two, blew herself up in front of a van carrying three Chinese citizens which triggered China. Now, Chinese citizens are leaving Pakistan while President Xi is scolding the Pakistan Army Chief the real ruler of Pakistan, General Bajwa.

If it continues, Pakistan will not become non-existent within a few years.

While, on the other hand, people from Sindh Province and illegally occupied Indian Union Territories of Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh, are also opening up to protest against the atrocities of Pakistani armed forces and they are thinking that they either go free or join India.

Conclusion:

India At War thinks, that in this 21^st Century anything can happen. Pakistani PM Sharif is now talking to open doors of business with India; while former PM Khan is against it. PM Khan wanted no business with India due to Nupur Sharma’s unsavory remarks on his holiness Prophet Muhammad. Her comments have irrupted violence in various Islamic Nations and several states and cities of India. Pakistan also trying to use her comments to radicalize more of its citizens. Terrorist organization Al-Qaeda has threatened bombings in several Indian cities as revenge.

But our forces and intelligence units are working day and night to stop any attack on India and her citizens. India At War is a responsible defense-related blog and think tank, we request every community to stay calm, maintain peace and trust the Indian judiciary.

Pakistan may collapse soon in financial, geographical, demographical and all other way possible. Pakistan can soon go default.
