The staggering catalogue of corruption scandals was exposed by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan when he claimed Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has to pay Rs 6 billion loans taken from national banks.
Addressing the anti-government sit-in protesters on 24th day at D-Chowk on Sunday evening, he claimed the 'prime minister had not paid a single penny out of Rs6 billion loans obtained during the last 15 years from different national banks'.
He further said that Nawaz Sharif borrowed Rs60 million from Al-Taufeeq company in 1995, but did not pay back the amount, adding when a British court gave a verdict against him in 1999, he had to pay back the Rs 80m which he claimed was gifted to him by a Saudi friend.
The PTI chief also attacked Asif Ali Zardari, Co-chairman Pakistan People's Party (PPP), who usually skips him in his fiery anti-government speeches, saying the PPP 'big man' kept lying that he did not own the Surrey Palace.
But, it was Zardari who then sold it out at a hefty amount of £5.6 billion and stashed the money into Swiss banks, adding that no one, except PTI Kaptan along with the support of masses, will bring back the estimated amount of $200 billion stashed in Swiss banks.
Imran also made sterling revelations about the property owned by Chief Minister of Punjab Shehbaz Sharif, saying he owned two luxury houses worth billions of pound sterling in England, while the 'little Mian' claims of having nothing abroad.
He laughed off the offer of deputy prime minister-ship made by the government to end the current political stalemate, saying how easily they wanted to buy him to hide their corruption through wheeling-dealing like PPP and PML-N have been doing 'noora kushti' or fake fight about each others corruption.
He said that he could have become the prime minister like Moeen Qureshi or Shaukat Aziz, but the people of Pakistan always held him in great esteem which a prime minister could not even dream of.
Imran asked all the segments of the society to join him at the sit-in in Islamabad, saying he was fighting their war as the almighty Allah has blessed him with everything when he was a young cricketer.
He said that 'Azadi March' has given employment opportunity to several cart-drivers as they were selling their goods to the protesters. "The representative of labourer would be a labour; same would be in the case of farmers. The honest will have an honest leader, while a dishonest leader will not be imposed on hardworking people and a patriot will not have leader who is a traitor", he added.
Imran said that PTI member Ishaq Khakwani has filed a case before the court against Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif for lying, but the court is yet to fix it for hearing despite passage of over a week.
He said that massive rigging took place in Balochistan in connivance with the then chief justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhary through returning officers.
Quiting some irregularities that took place in last year's general elections in Balochistan, Imran said: "Abdul Malik, chief minister of Balochistan got 4,150 votes while BNP's candidate got 4,500 votes, but the returning officer wrote a letter that he did not count 600 votes, hence declaring Malik as winner".
He said that Abdul Malik Baloch had become Chief Minister Balochistan because of fake votes. Mir Zafarullah Jamali, a former prime minister, he added, contested against Mir Khoso. Jamali got 40,000 votes while Khoso got 35,000 votes, but the match was fixed and 24,000 votes were rejected, he added.
He said that General Abdul Qadir Baloch (retd) also got elected through rigging. He said that as long as these people will keep getting elected through fake mandate, nobody will work for the well-being of the people of Pakistan.
