Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said on Monday that his party was ready to face both PML-N and PPP in the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking at a news conference at PTI Central Secretariat on the occasion of Tashfeen Safdar’s joining of PTI, he said the motives of both parties were similar, adding both had to form a caretaker government.
He said that both parties would become coalition partners in the upcoming elections.
Imran Khan, lashing out at the PML-N, said that the party was playing a dual game, adding first it enjoyed power for three years and then separated and became part of the opposition.
He alleged that Nisar and Nawaz came into power due to the military. He further said that the Supreme Court should take notice of money given by the ISI to other politicians.
He said that he had not received a single penny, saying he would quit politics if it was proved that he was paid by the ISI.
To a question regarding Maulana Fazalur Rehman’s opposition for the resumption of NATO supplies, he said that he was the only person who had played “Noora Kushti” at a greater level than anyone else had ever played.
He said during the Musharraf era, Fazalur Rehman was the part of a friendly opposition and after that became the right hand of President Asif Zardari.
He further said that PML-N had secretly agreed to restore NATO supplies. Imran Khan said the war on terror was not our war, adding that billions of dollars had been spent and Pakistan had rendered sacrifices of thousands of lives.
When speaking about the head money announced by the US on Hafiz Saeed, he said everyone had complete confidence in the Supreme Court. He said it was common practice that if someone’s crime was unproven, he could not be declared a criminal.
Imran Khan said that announcing head money for Hafiz Saeed was wrong, adding any sovereign country did not allow this kind of move.
