ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, addressing a press conference in the federal capital on Sunday, demanded early elections in the country.
The PTI chief said that taking a fresh mandate is necessary to strengthen democracy in the country.
He claimed that Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi has also been alleged to be involved in corruption in LNG sector, adding no one in the world can think about making a disqualified person the head of any political party.
While reacting to Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif’s statement that “Pakistan must bring its house in order to prevent facing embarrassment on the international level”, the PTI chairman asked: “Did the government realise today that they have to bring their house in order?”
Imran also asked the federal government why haven’t they put the house in order in the last four years.
“They [Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leaders] are giving Pakistan Army a bad name,” said Imran, adding “all political parties agreed on the National Action Plan.”
Imran also mentioned that the country had no foreign minister “when our policy towards Afghanistan was formulated.”
Discussing PTI’s defeat in NA-120 by-poll, Imran said that it is embarrassing that a disqualified person is still the leader of a party.
“It is saddening to hear Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi say that Nawaz is his PM.
“We are scared regarding the situation in the country; the economy is in a harrowing condition.”
Imran also said that no one has taken as many loans as the incumbent government. “More loans are being taken to repay previous debts,” he said, adding the advertisements show prosperity in the country; however, loans were being taken by the current government.
Talking about NAB, he said, “We want a new chairperson for NAB.”
On the Electoral Reforms Bill 2017, which was passed in the Senate on September 22, he remarked that the bill seeks to ridicule the democracy.
