Imran accuses Nawaz of weakening democratic institutions

11 Oct, 2017

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan lashed out at political opponents and claimed that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz is attacking institutions and weakening democratic institutions. The PTI chief said that "Jews don't need to indulge in conspiracies against Pakistan as long as people like Nawaz Sharif and Fazal-ur-Rehman are present. If the thieves keep getting protection, our only other democratic option is to come out on the streets," he remarked.
"In the future, DG accountability in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa will be selected by the Peshawar High Court," he added. He was addressing a press conference DI Khan on Tuesday. PTI chief lashed out at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders, saying that those who laundered Rs 300 billion abroad brazenly ask why they were evicted from the power. Imran Khan asked ex-prime minister Nawaz Sharif how and when the money was sent abroad. He also alleged Sharif family of owning 29 big houses in London, adding that the one who used to sale cinema tickets in black now possesses 1 lac acre land and 19 sugar mills.
Bashing Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) co-chairman, Khan said that Uzair Baloch confessed to hand over 13 sugar mills to Asif Ali Zardari. He said that dacoits are all around him, continuing that if the system was run on merit then Nawaz Sharif's daughter Maryam Nawaz would not have considered herself fit enough to join politics.
Earlier, addressing a ceremony in Dera Ismail Khan, Imran said that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has wealth worth Rs 300 billion out of Pakistan; which is why he was disqualified. "You ask why you were disqualified. I will tell you why. You have more than Rs 300 billion saved outside the country," Imran said while addressing a ceremony here. He lashed out at Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders for disrespecting the Supreme Court's "unanimous decision" against party chief Nawaz.
Narrating how only the poor suffer under the law, Imran said that he did not come across one "major personality" when he was in jail for eight days, but realized the whole Parliament was filled with "robbers" once when he was attending a session.
