Praises KP police for averting Charsadda attack
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan Tuesday alleged that it was proved today that the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman was also a corrupt person, adding that the ‘corrupt’ Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had destroyed the state institutions, as one witnessed during hearing in the Supreme Court.
Talking to journalists at his Bani Gala residence, Imran contended that even a common man, if asked, would like to find an honest person for keeping his money, who would have not been a money-launderer and corrupt. He said the person for whom, Dar did money laundering, was today Pakistan’s prime minister.
“No one should have any doubt in mind that what was witnessed in the Supreme Court today with regard to the state institutions, makes it clear that Nawaz has destroyed them,” he charged.
He wondered how could acountry make progress, where a finance minister laundered money for a prime minister: an obvious reference to Finance Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar.
Imran pointed out that that was why there were articles 62 and 63 having a concept of sadiq and ameen, who could accordingly handle the public money. “Those who stole a few thousand rupees are languishing in jails, while plunderers of the national wealth are roaming free,” the PTI chairman lamented.
On the contrary, he claimed, Nawaz’s lawyers were pleading in the Supreme Court that since, Nawaz was a top personality, the country’s laws must not be applied on him and that not the apex court, but the other state institutions should deal with Panama-related matters.
He alleged NAB was resorting to excuses regarding the prime minister’s corruption and that the Federal Bureau of Revenue chief was also a corrupt person, citing the apex court proceedings. In the given situation, the masses had no other option but to look towards the apex court.
The PTI chairman said that Nawaz was in the habit of playing with an umpire of his choice, but Imran added time had changed now, advising him not to go for any adventure against the judiciary. He noted the ruling PML-N always went for violence on seeing defeat.
He heaped massive praise on the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police and while referring to Charsadda police’s successful bid to avert loss of scores of lives, he said that the police deserved a pat on the back. Imran added he was proud of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police.
Imran contended the police in Punjab could also deliver and produce better results, if purged of political interference and restrained from doing service to the Sharif family.
