- – Says Narendra Modi not corrupt but fighting against corruption
- – Criticises removal of AD Khawaja as Sindh police Chief
TALAGANG, April 2: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday criticised the removal of AD Khawaja as the Inspector General (IG) Police Sindh, exclaiming that the move was made because Khawaja refused to facilitate corruption. Imran Khan said that the biggest problem of Pakistan is corruption and money laundering. Imran he wants to inform the nation about good news that the country is going to change. He said the meaning of corruption is to loot the money of people.
Speaking at a PTI rally in Talagang area of Chakwal on Sunday, Imran Khan said: “I just read with dismay that the AD Khawaja was relieved as the IG Sindh not because he was involved in illegal activities, but because he was stopping others from committing illegal activities.”
Taking a more precise aim at PPP, Imran said, “Sharjeel Memon has a Rs5 billion case corruption case registered against him.
Dr Asim [Hussain] has a Rs460 billion corruption case registered against him. The total development budget of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is worth Rs113 billion.” Addressing the charged crowd, the PTI chief took a jab at PPP-P President Asif Ali Zardari, suggesting that he should get his matters sorted before the next general election.
“If you want to compete in the next elections then be prepared because we will definitely question that from where you got the $7 million in Switzerland.”
“So Asif Zardari, maybe you should also get yourself a Qatari prince. Even you will need one,” Imran added.
Imran Khan said that Narendra Modi, Indian premier is not corrupt but is fighting corruption in India.
During his address, Khan defended corruption accusations against Modi and said that he is fighting corruption. He held corruption and money laundering as Pakistan’s biggest issues. Khan said that people should question the source of money that was used to purchase Surrey Palace.
Imran Khan said the nation must rise against corruption, saying he is waiting in anticipation for the Panama Papers verdict.
“The Pakistani nation has understood that the real problem of the country is corruption,” Imran said. Panamgate is a case of corruption as well as money laundering and unless this country is purged of corruption, we have no future, he added.
“The resistance against corruption has turned into a nationwide campaign and time is not distant when Pakistan will change for good,” Imran remarked.
“Corruption is to benefit oneself after assuming power, make money out of it and then get waived loans issued from banks,” he added.
He, however, said that “there are some people in PPP who do not want corruption.”
The PTI chairman claimed he had overcome corruption in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and that this had resulted in increased foreign investment in the province.-Sabah
