Just weeks after the inquiry commission, a judicial probe into allegations of rigging in the May 2013 elections, rejected the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf’s stance that polls were fraudulent, Imran Khan’s Reham told an Australian television show that in a country where life was fair and there was justice, the PTI chief would have been prime minister long ago, according to local media sources.
Speaking on 60 minutes, aired on Sunday, the PTI chief’s wife Reham, while sitting next to a beaming Imran, told the show’s host that “if life was fair… if there was justice in Pakistan, Imran would have been prime minister a long time ago.”
Imran claimed during the interview that he was the second biggest political target in the country.
“Well, the interior ministry brought out a statement that the prime minister and I were the top-two targets,” said the PTI chief.
The programme went on to show how there was tough security for every time Imran ventured into public and that how when his plane takes off from Peshawar airport, which has come under repeated attacks, it does so in the cover of darkness with no lights on.
Asked that why does he laugh off the threat to his life, Imran says “somehow we have this false sense of security that we will live forever, (but) every one has to die.”
