Rulers amended laws to protect their theft: Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD, Oct 12 (SABAH): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Wednesday said that rulers amended laws just to protect their theft.

Imran Khan said this while addressing the Islamabad Trade Union Workers Convention here on Wednesday. He said that a system based on injustice cannot work and added that giving NRO is equal to enmity with the country. He said that the 20 percent industry of Faisalabad has been closed. He said that foreign powers want weak and puppet governments in Pakistan and added that NAB amended the law to give license to corruption.

He said that today the salaried class is facing inflation in the country while dacoits are getting relief in corruption cases and they are asking the nation to sacrifice. Imran Khan said, “If cricketer is responsible for three-and-half year government, why is a three-time prime minister not responsible for anything.” He said, “I answered all the questions related to my flats in the court, and ask them where the money for London flats came from.”

Imran Khan said that the public officeholder is responsible for his assets. He said opposition parties held long-march during the PTI government as well.  He said there was a $250 billion fine in rental power but he talked to the president of Turkey and canceled the fine.

Chairman PTI said, “If I had assets outside Pakistan, I would not have had the courage to say absolutely not.” He said that India is buying oil from Russia at a 40 percent lower price. He questioned who made this conspiracy against the PTI government and why?

The former prime minister said that Ishaq Dar has been imported from London. He said the economic growth was 5.7 percent in PTI’s third year and 6 percent in the fourth year, when the economy goes down, everyone is affected. He said that every year the Survey of Pakistan is published, according to the survey when our government was removed the economy was developing.
