Ruling out the possibility of alliance with any political party for the upcoming elections, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Tuesday that the office of the prime minister carries a heavy responsibility and the PTI would fulfill its obligations upon coming into power.
Addressing a gathering of students, Imran said that all political forces were uniting against the PTI, but that it would defeat them all in the next elections. He said that those currently ruling the country were not even capable of representing the people at the Union Council level.
Imran said that cowards could not become leaders, adding that only “real lions”, not the ones of circus, could save the country. Even a jackal is claiming to be a leader of Pakistan these days, the PTI chief said. He said his party would make a new Pakistan in which corrupt politicians would not survive. He said the remedy for the country’s ills was only available with the PTI. “We will eradicate the politics of money from the country,” he added. Imran said the country could generate 3,000 megawatts of electricity by building small dams in Chitral alone, adding that huge reserves of coal were available in Pakistan. Whatever is happening in Pakistan these days is not in the interest of the country, Imran said. “People ruling the country are scared of the US, and they always talk of themselves rather than the people of Pakistan,” he said, adding he gets his guidance from the writings of Allama Iqbal, and was not afraid of anyone except Allah Almighty. Imran said that all his dreams had come true in the past, and he was confident that the dream of a new Pakistan would also be realized in the next few months. He said there was no shortage of resources in Pakistan, but only good governance and merit was required. He said that during the government of Nawaz Sharif, 25,000 people had been recruited in Punjab Police without merit. He added that the rumor had been confirmed by former inspector general of police Abbas in his inquiry report.
