Imran Khan, Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and a former Prime Minister of Pakistan, said on Friday that the next army commander should be picked based on merit; however, he voiced his uncertainty that the current administration will do so.
According to the leader of the PTI, Nawaz Sharif has been stealing from the nation for the last 30 years, and he is now in charge of making important policy choices.
Imran Khan, Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), delivered the keynote address at the Pakistan Tehreek-e-(PTI) Insaf’s “Haqeeqi Azadi March” via a video link from Lahore. He stated that the Supreme Leader of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), Nawaz Sharif, always promoted those individuals who could benefit him personally.
The head of the PTI made the accusation, “Nawaz Sharif is now going to decide about the army chief’s appointment. The N-League [PML-N] has never done anything on merit. Nawaz has been stealing public money for the past 30 years, he only wants to hide his theft”.
“Every major decision about the country will be taken by this criminal, who has been taking money out of the country. Nawaz Sharif was convicted by the JIT [joint investigation team which investigated corruption cases against him], now he will take the country’s decision,” he continued.
Imran accused Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif of facing prosecution in Federal Investigation Agency matters (FIA). He said that Shehbaz Sharif became prime minister and all witnesses in his cases died in two months.
