Former Pakistani prime minister Imran Khan led a rally in the eastern city of Lahore, setting out his ideas to revive the country’s spiralling economy and accusing the government of lacking a rescue plan.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has delayed a six billion US dollars (£5 billion) bailout over Pakistan’s failure to meet the terms of a 2019 deal. The government blames that failure on Mr Khan, now the opposition leader.
