KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that the decision of Speaker of the National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq to brush aside PTI’s reference against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is a clear manifestation of PM’s attempts to ruin the department of NA Speakership to conceal his corruption.
He was talking to media persons upon his arrival at Jinnah International Airport on Monday. He was accompanied by Shah Mehmood Qureshi, Jehangir Tareen and other party leaders. The sources said references for disqualification of PTI Chairman Imran Khan and Jahangir Khan Tareen have been sent to Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), instead. The ECP has been asked to take an action against the two in consonance with the law.
Imran said that people from every nook and corner of the country will march towards Raiwand to lodge a historical protest. The unconstitutional government of Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) is about to crumble, he said. He also said that Nawaz will not get an opportunity to flee for Jeddah when the PTI will stage protest.
He highlighted the threats of the PML-N and said that PML-N has imposed the democracy of Husni Mubarak’s government in the country. He termed the Parliament a “democratic department.” He said that the NA Speaker has not only mortified the Parliament by rejecting reference against the PM but also proved that he was biased and working on PM’s agenda.
He reiterated that that PTI was constantly telling that PM would set the reputation of all departments on stakes to hide his corruption. He also said that closure of peaceful revolt would result in bloodshed. He said that PM Nawaz was amongst the eight international leaders whose name was in Panama papers yet the NA Speaker has rejected reference against the PM and approved the reference against him.
He lambasted the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) for not taking action against corrupt leaders. He also said that in the foreign, property worth billions of rupees is allotted to the children of Nawaz Sahrif, Hussain Nawaz and Maryam Nawaz. He said that Hassan Naaz was living in London in a flat worth Rs 650 m.
He questioned the Sharif family that from where all this wealth was accumulated. The PTI chairman said that he had earned money in foreign countries through many ways but he transferred all his money to Pakistan therefore his name was not in the Panama papers. Our protest is against those involved in corruption, he said.
He reminded that the protest lodged at Raiwand will be historical. He said that all the political parties will be invited to participate in the protest and they will stand with PTI shoulder to shoulder. He underlined that the female candidate of the PTI was defeated due to vote rigging in by-elections held in Burewala. He also said that Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has not taken any notice of the rigging.
Imran lashed out at the chairman of FBR for sending Rs 25-30 billion abroad every month and purchasing a luxurious house in Dubai. He also said that the Federal Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar also had properties abroad.
He said that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is transforming into a model province. He said that the people of Karachi will witness the remarkable performance of KP police.
