GUJRANWALA: PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said it was now Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif’s turn after his brother Nawaz Sharif’s disqualification. He was addressing the party workers on Wednesday in Gujranwala, where he attended the party’s membership campaign.
“We will rid Punjab of the Sharifs in 2018,” he said, promising the party workers that the PTI would provide relief to the masses if it comes to power in the upcoming general elections. He alleged that Shahbaz made the Multan Metro for commission.
He preferred the Metro bus projects over hospitals, and did not make a single hospital in the province where the Sharif family could be treated. He also alleged that the chief minister had spent Rs6.5 trillion of Punjab’s development budget in the past 10 years.
“Do you know why Shahbaz is in London...he is there for a medical check-up,” he added. Kulsoom Nawaz is also being treated in London but the common man cannot afford to go abroad.”
He claimed that the same medicines available in Punjab for Rs100 can be purchased for Rs50 in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. He also pointed out towards exorbitant difference in prices of drugs in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Rulers earn money by imposing huge taxes on masses, he further added. He termed PTI a party of the youth while stating that members of the party are mostly youngsters.
