Country’s biggest thieves were brought together to overthrow an elected govt through a ‘foreign conspiracy’: Imran Khan
GUJRANWALA, May 18 (SABAH): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that he neither bowed before anyone in a servile manner nor will let the people of Pakistan do that.
Addressing a public gathering in Gujranwala, Imran Khan commented on his ouster and said that the office of the prime minister had no value before his eyes. The former premier — while referring to the no-confidence motion that ousted him from power — said that the country’s biggest thieves were brought together to overthrow an elected government through a “foreign conspiracy”.
He reiterated that he was calling the nation to march toward Islamabad to thwart the foreign conspiracy and to fight for the real freedom of Pakistan.
Praising his government and shedding light on the ongoing economic turmoil in the country, the PTI chairman said that there was a significant increase in exports during his tenure. “During the last nine months, the country’s exports increased by 26%,” he maintained.
Imran Khan said that his government reduced petrol prices and also the prices of “Fazlur Rehman (diesel)”, adding that the government provided relief to the masses when the inflation was rising globally.
He also said that his government helped the farmers and they benefited the most during the two years of the PTI government.
“During the COVID-19 pandemic, our country prospered with the increase in the employment rate,” he said, adding that these thieves ousted our government when our country was heading towards its betterment.
Talking about PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari, Imran Khan said that he is happy that everyone is abusing the PML-N. “He is present at the Centre, ruling Sindh, making money while the people are abusing PM Shehbaz and PML-N,” he said.
Berating the Sharif brothers, the PTI chairman said: “Shehbaz Sharif is asking what to do after becoming the prime minister. He said that inflation is rising and foreign exchange is tumbling. The two brothers (Shehbaz and Nawaz Sharif) are now trapped and they are wondering what to do.” He said that PM Shehbaz thought he would save himself from the Federal Investigation Bureau (FIA) after becoming the prime minister. He warned the PM that he will recover all the money from him and send him to jail.
Imran Khan thanked the Supreme Court for serving justice to those “who sold their consciences (turncoats).”
Imran Khan said families of army personnel, police personnel and government employees will also take part in his upcoming march to Islamabad to remove the “imported government that came to power through a US-backed conspiracy”.
Imran Khan said: “The police will also help you [in getting to Islamabad]. They will send their family members with you and government employees will [do the same] as well. “And I know my army’s families will also come with us to Islamabad,” he added.
Imran said he would unveil the date of his long march during a rally in Multan on May 20 (Friday). The PTI chief hoped he would win the “fight for real independence in Islamabad this month”.
The PTI Chairman expressed much opitimism for their victory against the incumbent government. He stated that there is no doubt that this month we will win our real war of independence in Islamabad.
