Finance Minister Ishaq Dar on Wednesday claimed the ongoing political crisis has caused Rs300 billion worth of losses at the Karachi Stock Exchange. Addressing a press conference held at the finance ministry, Dar argued that the current political crisis was an "attempt to destabilise the country". "Imran Khan knows very well that his demands [for caretaker setup] are unconstitutional; the prime minister cannot be removed according to his wishes" Dar stated. The finance minister made it clear that Imran and the Azadi March would be dealt with politically, while Tahirul Qadri would be dealt administratively.
