PTI Chairman Imran Khan said here on Friday that he will neither end his "sit-in" nor talk to the government. Addressing thousands of his supporters in Sahiwal, he said he will not hold talks with the government after the issuance of his arrest warrant.
"Arrest warrants of mine have been issued but no arrest warrants have been issued for the killers of Model Town and August 31 carnage," Imran Khan said, adding that "you have issued arrest warrants against me, Mian Sahab, now I refuse to talk to you." "Now Nawaz Sharif wants to talk to an 'absconder', if I were the PM I'd have never been talking to a corrupt or absconder, the PTI leader remarked.
He said that after being declared proclaimed offender there is no justification for government to invite him to come to table for negotiations. He said: "Ishaq Dar had admitted in an affidavit regarding money-laundering he did for Nawaz Sharif, so the warrants should also be issued for Nawaz." "The nation knows me for the last 40 years, am I terrorist, how the arrest warrants could be issued against me," Imran Khan asked.
He said that how could one claim to be sincere with the country who he keeps his wealth in foreign banks, makes assets and investment is abroad. He blamed that ruling and opposition parties were supporting each other for the sake of power and not democracy. Vows to save democracy was the only tactic to deceive masses but it will not continue any more as people have become aware enough to decide who was their well-wisher and what was the truth, he added.
Imran Khan said the election tribunal which was supposed to dispense justice in four months failed to do so even after a lapse of 17 months. "Will we ever be able to get justice," he wondered. He said in 'New Pakistan', he would not take loans and collect the required revenue from within the country. "I will bring every tax evader to the tax net," he vowed.
Imran Khan said politically-motivated cases were being registered in the Punjab and that no such case was lodged in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa against political opponents. He said whatever was happening in Balochistan was the result of not getting justice. The PTI chief said that he has no lust for power but his struggle was aimed at endowing the poor countrymen of their inborn and basic rights.
Rulers will continue to treat the masses like cattle if they will act as silent spectator and don't' stand for their rights, he told the participants of gathering. "A nation that keeps its head down eventually destroys its future and ends up becoming slave," he warned. He said that five points were already agreed when PTI delegation was talking to the government.
About the Sahiwals's coal power plants, he said this plant will increase pollution in Sahiwal to an unprecedented level and who will be responsible for it. Columnists should write for justice, said Imran Khan. "I ask the columnists why we are being ridiculed when we demand for justice," Imran Khan asked, saying "Today I want to question the judicial system of Pakistan, the ECP intellectuals and journalists that what is the justice system that could give us justice if a rigged government comes into power."
"It is a big blessing of Allah that the nation is now awake," Imran Khan said, adding that when he was 16 years old, he played an international cricket match in the same stadium where we have a Jalsa today. The PTI chief on this occasion quoted Hazrat Ali (AS) as saying that "system of disbelief can work but system of injustice cannot work." "Verdict of masses has no worth here, everything is money-based in this system," he remarked.
"PTV is paid by tax payers; I ask the PTV MD does he not feel ashamed of being a puppet of PML-N," Imran Khan stated. At the outset, he expressed his anger over the brazen threats by Narindra Modi to Pakistanis. Farmer is being crushed today, if he doesn't have the right to vote, then how he will vote out a non-performing govt, Imran Khan asked. Pakistanis didn't have anything, except the right to vote, and even this was being snatched from them, Imran claimed. He asked people to take stand today, or else they will be of no worth and no value in future.
