Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has predicted a battle between what he called ‘noon’, a reference to the PML-N and ‘junoon’, the passion of the PTI supporters, in the upcoming elections.
Addressing a rally of thousands here on Monday, Khan said the PPP and the PML-N had failed to deliver during all their tenures, adding that the only thing they had successfully done was promoting the politics of inheritance.
He said President Zardari had been preparing his son Bilawal Bhutto, who did not even know how to speak Urdu, the national language, while PML-N President Nawaz Sharif had prepared his daughter to rule the country as if it was their birth right.
Khan once again invited Nawaz for a live TV debate so that the people could judge which party had a plan to resolve their problems and which was just making hollow promises.
The PTI chief said the PML-N had been elected five times in the last 25 years but had done nothing for the betterment of the people. He said the crime rate in Punjab increased manifolds in the last five years as hundreds of citizens were murdered, kidnapped and looted, but the government did nothing to stop the growing crime rate.
Khan requested the participants of the rally to support his candidates from NA-50 as only the PTI had the vision to make a new and prosperous Pakistan.
Khan said if elected, he will conduct local bodies’ elections within 90 days of coming into power, adding that corrupt politicians had suspended the local bodies’ system just to gain monetary benefits.
The PTI chairman said the move would empower the people to change the decades-old police culture and bring improvement in education, health and development sectors.
PTI’s candidates from NA-50 Professor Sadaqat Ali Abbasi and Javad Iqbal Satti (PP-1) also addressed the PTI’s first rally in Murree. They lashed out at the PML-N government for stopping two mega projects, the New Murree Project and bulk water scheme.
