If there is someone who deserves title of modern-day Joseph Goebbels, chief propagandist for German Nazi Party, is none other than Imran Khan: PM Shehbaz
ISLAMABAD, June 14 (SABAH): Prime Minister Mian Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, while responding the statement of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan, has said that if there is someone who deserves the title of modern-day Joseph Goebbels, chief propagandist for the German Nazi Party, is none other than Imran Khan. He is certainly perfecting the art of lying, PM Shehbaz Sharif said.
In a statement issued on twitter on Wednesday, PM Shehbaz Sharif said that how convenient of Imran Khna to forget how he incited his cult followers to violence over a span of one year! He called the Army and intelligence leadership names, exploited the people’s emotions through slogans of ‘Haqeeqi Azadi’ and use of religious symbols & even administered oath of ‘Jihad’ to them, PM Shehbaz Sharif said.
PM Shehbaz Sharif said that as the State symbols and military installations came under attack at the hands of his goons, he refused to condemn violence, what to speak of urging the arsonists to stand down. His speeches and Twitter posts have enough evidence to refute his claims and establish a build-up to the events of May 9, PM Shehbaz Sharif said.
“As the facts have established so far, the PTI under his watch purposefully deployed violence as a policy. He can lie through his teeth. History doesn’t” PM Shehbaz Sharif said.
Meanwhile Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated Captain Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed Avenue formerly known as IJP Road and Seventh Avenue Overhead Bridge on Srinagar Highway besides performing ground breaking of Eleventh Avenue in Islamabad on Wednesday.
Addressing a ceremony in connection with the inauguration of these projects, the Prime Minister regretted that the poor performance of previous government delayed execution of important development projects. He however said that we have accelerated work on them and work on the ongoing projects in the federal capital will be completed by next month.
He announced an electric bus service will also be launched in the capital city, for which the buses will reach by 15th of next month.
The Prime Minister said a solid waste management system is also being introduced in Islamabad on the pattern of Lahore.
Shehbaz Sharif said that the IJP road has been named after Captain Karnal Sher Khan Shaheed to recognize the services and sacrifices rendered by the martyrs for the nation. He said only those nations remain successful which remember the sacrifices of their martyrs.
The Prime Minister said that May 9 acts not only aggrieved the entire nation but also bowed our heads down in embarrassment. He said today the propaganda of a political party regarding regime change stands fully exposed.
The Prime Minister said relief has been given to the people in the budget. Referring to the increase in the salaries and pensions of employees, he said the budget envisages several initiatives for the youth. He said laptop scheme for the youth will be launched next month. This year one hundred thousand laptops will be distributed amongst the youth.
He said we are importing oil on discounted rates from Russia. He was also confident of a deal with the IMF saying Pakistan has fulfilled all the conditions.
He expressed the commitment to steer the country collectively out of difficult situation. He however stressed that political stability is a must for economic stability.
Speaking on the occasion, Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan said we will continue the journey of serving the country.
Minister for Information and Broadcasting Marriyum Aurangzeb and PML-N leaders were also present on the occasion.
