Imran Khan says if anything happened to him, the Pakistani nation will seek justice on his behalf
FAISALABAD, May 15 (SABAH): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Sunday said that if anything happened to him, the Pakistani nation will seek justice on his behalf.
Addressing a public gathering in Faisalabad, Imran Khan referred to a statement he had issued a day ago in Sialkot, where he had claimed that he had recorded a video of the characters behind the “conspiracy” against his government, and if something happens to him, it will be released.
Imran Khan had said a “conspiracy” was being hatched to take his life — and despite knowing about it earlier, he has now enough evidence to confirm it. Reiterating his belief that there was a US-backed plan that made the no-confidence motion against his government successful, Imran Khan on Sunday said that he already knew that plotting related to his ouster was taking place behind closed doors.
He then questioned the incumbent coalition government whether it was capable enough to take care of the prevailing situation, referring to the rising price of the dollar against the Pakistani rupee and the ensuing inflation in the country. “I ask the media of the country to inquire from a common man the rates of potatoes and tomatoes,” he said.
He then went on to say that owing to the rife corruption in the country, no big criminal was ever arrested. “We are yet to find out who was behind the assassination of Liaquat Ali Khan,” he said and repeated how US Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs Donald Lu had threatened the Pakistani ambassador of “consequences” if Khan wasn’t removed from power.
Imran Khan also criticised Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari and said that since he is now going to meet United States Secretary of State Antony Blinken, he will “beg him for money” so that “Imran Khan could not come back into power.”
The former prime minister claimed that Blinken knows well where Bilawal and his father, Asif Ali Zardari, have stored their money across the globe. “Since all of Bilawal’s wealth is stored outside of the country, he cannot dare to upset the US, otherwise he will lose everything,” Imran Khan said.
Imran Khan said that the United States never helps any country without seeing its own interest. “The US will tell Pakistan to stop talking about Palestine,” he said, adding that the US cannot dare to dictate to India because it was a free country. “The US has made Pakistan a slave without having to invade it,” Imran Khan said. “The people of Pakistan will never accept the imported government”.
He said the conspiracy against the country was hatched in America, while the Mir Jafar in the country supported the foreign conspiracy. Today the fugitives are sitting in London making national decisions, he added.
Calling out to the people of Faisalabad he said that after witnessing the passion in public I thank Allah, my nation has joined me. He said I can foresee the formation of a free Pakistan. The prosperity of Faisalabad is the prosperity of Pakistan, he added.
Talking about the problems being faced by public he mentioned that unemployment is the biggest issue in the country. I increased employment in the country. In our three and a half years, the textile industry of Faisalabad broke all records, he continued saying. Textile industry, power looms were closing in Faisalabad, he added.
Criticizing the PML-N leadership he said that the price of chicken has doubled because Hamza Shehbaz is in the chicken business. He further mentioned the contributions of PTI government to the country saying that the rupee is falling and inflation is rising. In our time there was a record production of four crops. Record farmers in our time got money. In our time, the country’s wealth was increasing, said Imran Khan.
