LODHRAN: Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, warned the country’s leaders on Monday that no matter where they go, the people of Pakistan will refer to them as “thieves and traitors” when they see them.
The former prime minister mentioned the incident with Minister for Planning, Development, and Special Initiatives Ahsan Iqbal, where he was heckled and called a “thief” by supporters from the PTI last week, while speaking at a rally ahead of the by-elections scheduled to be held in Punjab on July 17.
“You (Iqbal) claim that Imran Khan has inculcated bad behaviour in people. Ahsan Iqbal, this isn’t impolite; it’s the truth: You’re a thief, Khan yelled at the federal minister.
Iqbal was personally apologised to by the family who confronted the federal minister at the fast-food restaurant on Friday a day earlier at his home, where they expressed “remorse and embarrassment.”
The PML-N was later accused by the PTI of pressuring the family into making an apology to Iqbal. Osama Sher, a family member, claimed that there was “no pressure” on the family and that they “willingly” apologised to the federal minister.
Khan also informed the jalsa that despite their “corruption,” Iqbal and other PML-N leaders follow Nawaz Sharif blindly.
The PTI chairman asserted that since taking office, the current leaders have “stolen” Rs. 1,100 billion from the country and will continue to do so because they are “corrupt.”
“Wherever people see you, they’ll be saying two things: thieves and traitors. With the support of the United States, you toppled a government, the PTI chairman declared.
allegations against Zardari
The money of Sindh residents, according to the former prime minister, is “moved to Dubai in the name of politics.”
Khan added that he had prepared the cases against Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah and PPP Co-Chair Asif Ali Zardari. He continued, “I did the best I could to get these thieves.”
He claimed that Zardari and his “group” had done nothing to prepare the province before the rains arrived.
Usman Buzdar, the former chief minister of Punjab, was often made fun of, but thanks to underground tanks, water hasn’t accumulated on the city’s roads, Khan noted, praising his party’s accomplishments.
The country’s largest city, Karachi, was brought to a standstill today (Monday), as the roads throughout the metropolis were inundated with water, as a result of the intense rains that have claimed the lives of more than a dozen people.
