Amnesty Scheme is to save looters: Imran

Announces to oppose it; says govt making CPEC controversial

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has announced to protest against the government’s ‘Voluntary Tax Compliance Scheme’ saying that this amnesty scheme was a tax on the honest people and to protect the looters. He said he would oppose the scheme vehemently.

Talking to the media outside the Parliament House, Imran said the country could not move forward unless the system was corrected. Slamming the government policies yet again, Imran said the government was making the CPEC controversial.

Criticising the ECP, the PTI chief said there was no system in the world where it took two-and-a-half years to get justice. He said nothing happened in the ECP over the judicial commission’s findings.

He alleged that Justice (retd) Riaz Kiyani wanted to save the PML-N. He said no details of the LNG agreements were being made public. “The way the foreign policy of the country is being run, it happens only in monarchies,” he added. He wondered whether the rulers believed in democracy or not.
