HYDERABAD, April 6: : Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairperson Imran Khan while criticising Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari said “people are dead but Bhutto is still alive.”
While addressing a news conference in Hyderabad, the PTI chief said that former prime minister Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto was a great man “but we will not let Zardari remain alive politically.”
The PTI chief took an aim at Zardari and his sister Faryal Talpur, saying “Zardari mafia is sucking the blood of people of Sindh.”
“Both brother and sister are making money from everywhere and people are scared of them,” said Imran Khan.
The PTI chairman said that in the upcoming elections, the ruling party in Sindh will be defeated.
He also termed the tax amnesty scheme announced by the government on Thursday a slap on the face of honest people.
Imran said the only purpose of the move is to help protect the ‘black money’ of politicians in the ruling party.
He made similar remarks in a tweet earlier on Friday, stating that the questionable intent of the scheme was reflected in the deliberate confusion by the prime minister’s verbal reference to the “scheme not being applicable to ‘politically exposed persons’ while the doc [doucment] being circulated refers to ‘holders of public office and public servants’.
In another tweet, Imran said this shows that the move is aimed at protecting Nawaz and his cronies by giving them a way out to declare their ill-gotten wealth.
During the press conference, Imran also offered the National Accountability Bureau to probe the billion tree tsunami project of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government as well as his alleged misuse of the provincial government’s helicopter.
The PTI chief asserted that his assets were scrutinised by the Supreme Court for a year and even then he was declared ‘honest and truthful’.-Agencies
