Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that corrupt people were trying to buy the conscience of members of Parliament using “looted” money, adding that it was the state's responsibility to stop that from happening, reported Aaj News.

“When corrupt and convicted people join hands to topple the government, use the stolen money to buy off people [lawmakers], then it is the responsibility of the state to raise voice against this practice,” the premier said while addressing a large public gathering in Hafizabad.

He said that no one in the West dared to buy the loyalty of a Member of Parliament.

PM Imran said that he did not join politics to see how tomatoes and potatoes were priced, adding that his aim was to unite Pakistanis as one nation.

He said that his government had introduced an education system in the country to make the Pakistani people a nation.

The prime minister said that students of madrassas would also be included in that education system.

He said that Pakistan has very talented professionals in every field and by utilizing their talents Pakistan should be made a dignified and welfare state in the world.

He added that his government was working to introduce a ration and shelter system to help the poor live a dignified life.

Khan further said that Pakistan is not a slave country and will not take dictation from any country, but his government wants good relations with every country including US and European countries.

The Prime Minister vowed that he would not allow his nation to bow down to anyone in the world.

He said that Pakistan’s respect declined after Quaid-e-Azam, as leaders that came after him, did not know the purpose of the existence of the country.

“That’s why I created the Rehmatul-lil-Alameen Authority because I wanted to build my nation’s character.”

Imran Khan said nations that deviate from their ideology and fail to fight injustice cannot make progress. “If we want to become a great nation, we need to support virtue,” he said.

Imran Khan said by the time his government completes its five-year term he will have finished record development projects in Punjab.
