PakistanTehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Thursday challenged his political foe Nawaz Sharif for a live TV debate ahead of elections and boasting about his cricket credentials by saying that he would bowl the PML-N leader on the very first ball.
Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz (PML-N) had already rejected Imran’s challenge saying that he was throwing the challenge just to get cheap publicity.
Addressing an election rally in Pakpattan, Imran Khan alleged that Sharifs were hand-in-gloves with President Asif Zardari.
“I know why Nawaz Sharif is in a state of fear to face me on a live TV debate. He knows I will strike his stumps on the very first ball,” Imran said, drawing cheers from his supporters in the crowd.
He also claimed that excessive load shedding in Punjab was due to the mismanagement of Shahbaz Sharif’s government and not that of center. Imran also alleged that the PML-N government in Punjab has failed to streamline the health and education system of the province.
PTI is engaged in bitter politicking with PML-N in recent days.
PML-N leaders are accusing Imran Khan of making false promises and running away from contesting one on one with Nawaz Sharif in Lahore’s NA-120 constituency.
Analysts believe that the two parties are trying to woo voters in Punjab by ridiculing each other in a bid to secure maximum seats as the province has 148 constituencies of National Assembly out of the total of 272, and the party who gains maximum seat in Punjab has a greater chance of making the government in center after May 11 elections.
How can NS agree to a TV debate when he struggles to read a written speech. In Pakistani politics leadership is all about (looted) wealth and not about caliber.
very true
