Zardari, Sharif responsible for country’s adverse situation: Imran Khan

KARACHI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday said that Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif are responsible for the country’s adverse situation.

While speaking to journalists here, Khan criticised the PML-N and PPP, saying both parties looted the nation.

“The [2006] Charter of Democracy was an underhand deal between them. The entire country is in debt but they have become billionaires,” he said.

“Look at the children of Ishaq Dar, Nawaz Sharif and Zardari – they are all billionaires,” he added.

Announcing his visit to various districts of Sindh after Muharram, he said that his focus is now on Sindh. “In December, we will organise a huge public gathering at Mazar-e-Quaid,” he vowed.

Khan lashed out at PPP for corruption in Sindh and said that corruption is rampant in the province than any other province of the country.

“There is a commission on every project in Sindh and the money is being laundered to Dubai by [Zardari’s sister] Faryal Talpur,” he alleged.

Citing the need of a “genuine opposition leader” to keep a check on government, the PTI chief accused the federal government of giving massive development funds to Opposition Leader Khursheed Shah.

Nawaz destroyed every institution of the country by placing his friends as their head in view of protecting his corruption, he said.

While accusing the government of maligning the army as well, he said, “It is the first time that the army chief is repeatedly saying that ‘we won’t impose martial law’, ‘we stand with democracy’, but they have issues because the army has not become Punjab Police and the judges today are not Justice Qayyum who used to write decisions on their telephone calls.”
