- Says Zardari and Nawaz are kings of corruption
ISLAMABAD, October 6: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan has announced to shut down Islamabad on October 30. He has appealed people of the country to reach Islamabad on 30th Oct. He said people will not return back until and unless Nawaz Sharif resigns as PM or present himself for accountability over Panama issue.
He said Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif are kings of corruption, adding that both have coalition. He said Asif Zardari has destroyed Peoples Party, adding that PPP should introduce minus one formula to get rid of Zardari like MQM.
While talking to media persons after chairing party meeting at Bani Gala, Imran Khan said that if people will not stand up today then the upcoming generations will become the slaves of the children of current rulers of country. He said the nation is ready for change. Imran said he has hope from the Supreme Court over Panama issue. He said no institution including NAB, FIA, FBR and Election Commission took action over Panama issue. Imran said PTI is only demanding resignation of prime minister over Panama issue. He said PTI did not want to topple PML-N government. Imran said PTI is planning how to shut Islamabad on 30th October. Imran said PTI will shut Islamabad because government is present in Islamabad. Imran said PTI will not allow rulers to rule the country.
Imran Khan admitted that he doesn’t consider himself to be a good politician like Asif Ali Zardari, Maulana Fazlur Rehman or Nawaz Sharif.
Khan defended his party’s decision to pull out of the joint session of Parliament convened to discuss the Kashmir issue and escalation of ties with India.
Khan said that most of his party men were in favour of attending the session, but he overruled the decision.
“First of all, Nawaz Sharif has been proved a criminal according to the Panama Leaks. I am, therefore, not prepared to accept a criminal as our prime minister,” he said.
“Secondly, Shah Mahmood Qureshi had already attended the meeting of parliamentary leaders, which had given a strong message of solidarity and unity,” he pointed out.
Khan said that the speeches made in the joint session had in fact harmed the unity expressed by party’s leaders.
“Bilawal Bhutto publicly called Nawaz Sharif a friend of Modi and a thief and yet he was gladly shaking hands with the prime minister in the parliament,’ he said, adding he cannot be such a hypocrite or a big politician.
“I was accused of being a non-patriotic politician. Are these people patriotic whose children are living abroad and they are making money in Pakistan,” he said.
The PTI chief accused Opposition Leader Syed Khurshid Shah of being on payroll of Nawaz Sharif.
Dubbing Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari as kings of corruption, he called on the PPP to distance himself from the party’s co-chairman.
“Everybody is aware that Syed Khurshid Shah is facing allegations of corruption,” he said.
He appealed masses to participate in Islamabad sit-in for accountability of corrupt rulers and build new Pakistan.
The PTI chairman asked the Prime Minister to tender his resignation and present himself for accountability in the wake of the Panama Papers disclosures. He suggested that Nawaz Sharif could also choose any member of his party in the House to replace him as premier.-Sabah
