While the Daily Times and Pakistan Observer framed the move as a direct response to IMF conditions, Minute Mirror focused on the tightening of rules without explicitly naming the IMF programme upfront. All excerpts noted the restriction on unbudgeted expenditures but varied slightly in emphasis and framing."
