PTI chief Imran Khan, in his live address to the participants of the long march, deplored the country's economic situation.

He said that banks abroad were being told that Pakistan did not have the ability to return loans. He went on to say that due to this, banks would refrain from giving the country loans.

Imran said that dollar inflows had also dried up, which would in turn create pressure on the Pakistani rupee. "This will also scare away those who want to invest in the country."
