Chairman of Pakistan-Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and former Prime Minister Imran Khan, while responding to the backlash he received after delivering an “anti-state” speech a day earlier in Abbottabad, said that he would answer the allegations in the Jhelum rally tomorrow (Tuesday).
Addressing the party leaders in the federal capital on Monday, the PTI chairman criticized the incumbent government saying that the strong nation was being headed by corrupt, cowardly and treacherous.
The ousted prime minister slammed the government for “having an FIR registered” against him, claiming the government wants to arrest him.
Faisalabad police had last week registered a case against 150 people, including former prime minister Khan, for allegedly harassing and stopping Pakistani pilgrims from performing their rituals at Masjid-e-Nabawi (PBUH) earlier this week.
But Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah clarified last Tuesday that the government did not have a first information report (FIR) registered against the PTI chairman.
The PTI chief said that the “criminals” were sitting in the Parliament and wondered how would the country progress if the “corrupt” people ruled the country.
The PTI chairman claimed that India celebrated when the PML-N got into power.
Mocking the PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, Khan said that Nawaz didn’t say a word when he was in power, but as he moved abroad, he started speaking against the army.
“I have no properties outside, I will stay in Pakistan,” he said adding that he would never want something which damaged the country.
Khan said what he was doing was “jihad”, adding that Shehbaz Sharif and Nawaz Sharif were real Mir Jaffars and Mir Sadiqs of the country.
The PTI chief said that his long march would change the course of this country, and urged the nation to participate in it.
