the PTI.
He said the PTI members had not only received their salaries but they continued to have all perks and privileges during the days of sit-ins. He said all through his 25 years in politics, he had never seen people so devoid of ethics and self-respect as the PTI members.
He said Javed Hashmi maintained his self-respect and resigned. He said his statement shaming the PTI was for Imran Khan calling the assembly fake. He said the umpire’s finger did not hint at the Almighty but at somebody else.
He said Gen (retd) Shuja Pasha was the ideological guru of the PTI. He said Gen Pasha intervened in politics being the ISI chief and later Gen Zaheerul Islam and some other ISI officials also had sympathies with the sit-in participants.
He said everybody was fighting their own fights against the government during the sit-in days. “At that time, ISI was angry with the government. Secret institutions helped the sit-ins,” he said.
He said no proposal for accountability of those who were behind the sit-ins was under consideration. He said an investigation into the matter, however, should be conducted. He said the present army leadership was disassociated with politics completely and if the country had this leadership earlier, it would have been without many crises it was facing at present.
He said Shahbaz Sharif’s claim of ending loadshedding in six months was wrong and discussion about the energy crisis should always be cautious. He said K-Electric was basically responsible for the heatwave deaths in Karachi but the governments could not be excused.
He said K-Electric owed many institutions billions of rupees. He said the PTI leadership should pay DJ Butt Rs80 million. He said if Butt lodged a case against Imran Khan, the government would make sure that Butt was given justice.
He said he tried to do justice with his both ministries. He said he never visited Waziristan or eastern or western frontiers during the military operation. He said Taliban and India were threat to “our existence”. He said the government should accept responsibility for slackness in implementing the National Action Plan (NAP). He said he was not in direct contact with Ch Nisar but their ministries had coordination. He said they were not opposed to Necta.
