Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday said that status quo was holding Pakistan back from becoming a welfare state.
He said that after coming to power, his government would focus on welfare projects instead of Metro buses, reported a local news outlet.
Addressing the local body ticket-holders in Islamabad, Khan once again complained about party discipline. He had to mention the indiscipline of the PTI workers after unruly behaviour was witnessed during the event.
Khan said that Pakistan had to be an Islamic welfare state but the status quo prevented it from becoming one. He said that the rulers were spending their lives like kings with borrowed money.
“Nobody can stop PTI from making a new Pakistan. We won’t make projects like Metro buses after coming to power but projects like Chashma Right Canal,” said the PTI chairman. He also expressed concern over awarding of the local body election tickets to the relatives of the party bigwigs in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa.
