Pakistan Defence Minister Khawaja Asif has become a laughing stock over his latest remarks about Islamabad’s “strategy” to get rid of IMF loans. This time, Asif has made a claim that might leave even economists stunned. He said that demand for Pakistan’s JF-17 fighter jet is increasing “like a storm” after Operation Sindoor, and that Pakistan will become so capable that it will no longer need to beg the IMF for financial assistance.
