LAHORE: In response  to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan’s speech the other day, Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja Saad Rafique has said, “PTI’s legal accountability will start from May 3.”  Rafique further warned that in case Khan is unable to validate his allegation of the Rs 10bn offer with a proof, he will have to face legal action.

The minister remarked that Imran and his party members have gone berserk for the past few days in pursuit of power.

Rafique alleged that the public was fooled on the premise of change by Zulfikar Ali Bhutto in 1970 and Imran Khan in 2013.

“Pakistan Muslim League – Nawaz’s (PML-N) successful rally in Swat is proof of the public’s lack of trust in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) government,” the federal minister said. “Mian Nawaz Sharif’s worker Ameer Muqam alone is sufficient to face Imran and his party workers [in elections].”

Earlier the other day, Khan challenged his opponents, saying that those who want to know the name of the person who made the Rs10 billion offer to stay silent over the Panama case, can take him to court.

Imran Khan while addressing the first rally of the party since the announcement of the Panama Case verdict,  asserted that he gathers people for the benefit of the country and not for himself.

Khan further added that he did not want to reveal the name of the person who offered bribe to him, only out of consideration that the person would be forced out of business due to vengeful activities.
