Imran responds to Nawaz: 'Ex-PM's ignorance about KP government's performance is shameful'

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Monday retorted to the rival PML-N president saying on twitter that "according to Nawaz Sharif's notion of democracy, the elected prime minister can abuse all state institutions, storm [the] Supreme Court with his party hoodlums, give judges briefcases full of money - with no questions asked and no law applied because an elected prime minister is above the law of the land."
Nawaz, taking the stage at the PML-N 'power show' in Peshawar on Sunday, appealed to the people to elect his party enabling them to make laws to stop disqualification of an elected prime minister in future. He and his daughter Maryam denounced Khan and his party's government in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) saying PTI leaders spent four years sitting on containers. They also asked what Imran and his PTI had done for the KP province, so far.
Imran Khan retorted sarcastically that he (Nawaz) "can money launder, evade taxes, conceal assets, lie before Parliament - all corruption is permissible because PM is elected!" He said that last week, Nawaz Sharif made clear his idea of democracy and of a PM heading a democratic government was where the PM is above the law of the land after being elected.
Khan also denied Sharif's claims of lack of development in KP, claiming that work on 350 micro-hydel stations has been completed in KP, whereas police, health and education reforms have also been undertaken. He said that PTI's Billion Tree Tsunami program, which has come under the microscope after allegations of mismanagement of funds ? was audited by the World Wildlife Federation (WWF), whereas the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) has also acknowledged its success.
"Such ignorance on part of Nawaz Sharif is shameful," Khan concluded, rebuffing the Sharif's claims that billions of rupees had been misappropriated in the name of planting a billion trees.
