Self-sabotage

This letter refers to the news report ‘Civil disobedience to start with call to expats to choke remittances: Aleema’ (December 7, 2024). I remember that in 2014 Imran Khan also told his followers to stop remitting money to Pakistan through banks. If this order is implemented successfully, it will result in a great deal of inconvenience to his followers in Pakistan, as many of them are dependent on the money sent by their relatives for survival. There will be pressure to devalue the rupee, which will again affect his voters, as it will result in inflation. His party will become even more unpopular than it is today. Is this what Imran really wants?
