Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has said that President Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif were equally responsible for plundering national wealth and they did not give anything to the people except failures and discontentment.
Talking to a delegation led by Council of National Affairs leader Ghulam Mustafa Mirani here on Friday, Imran said Zardari and Nawaz are puppets of the United States and ready to do anything at the dictation of their masters.
The PTI chief said that Nawaz Sharif was least interested in launching a real movement to remove the government and was only waiting for his turn. He pointed out that PML-N sided with the government for three and a half years and was now taking out rallies to salvage its image. He expressed confidence that people would not befooled by such tricks.
He said his party would come to power with the backing of the masses and not through the backing of establishment. However, he said he wants to tell the establishment to ensure free and transparent elections and not support any political party. He said whenever free and fair elections were held, nobody would be able to stop Tehreek-e-Insaaf from a landslide victory.
He said Nawaz Sharif was desperate to become the prime minister and for this purpose he was welcoming the seasonal birds, plunderers and lotas.
Moreover, he said Nawaz, who is never tired of declaring Pervez Musharraf as a traitor, owes it to the people to tell what he himself was doing by taking the former companions of Musharraf in his party.
Imran alleged that the provincial government was creating all sorts of hurdles in holding PTI public meeting on 30th October. He, however, said this pubic meeting would be successful and people of Lahore would prove that they were not with any thief or robber but with PTI.
