LAMOSA: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan has said on Saturday that important decisions related to Pakistan are being made in London, while he has never raised a controversy over the appointment of a new Army Chief.
Addressing the participants of the real freedom march through video link, Imran Khan said that the Prime Minister of the country is in London for the last five days. “They are deciding who will be the army chief of Pakistan. Consider what is happening to this country. Our new army chief is being decided by a criminal and a fugitive and his son and daughter. The sons of Ishaq Dar, who fled the country, sit in. Ishaq Dar also did not return to the country until he was assured by his handlers that no one would arrest him.
The sons of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif say that they are not citizens of Pakistan because they cannot answer for their corruption. Four palaces were revealed in the name of Maryam Nawaz in the Panama Papers. Thieves of this country are deciding what will be the future of this country. It cannot be imagined in any civilized society of the world that important decisions are made by people outside the country who have been stealing the country’s money for thirty years.
Imran said that Shahbaz Sharif accused a newspaper of insulting him but he did not know that British courts give justice. “He is now in deep trouble. He has been summoned by the UK courts. His biggest challenge now will be to explain in court the allegations he has made against the newspaper and he has Some serious allegations have also been made.
He said that Shahbaz Sharif, who had bought the Quetta bench, does not know where he is stuck now. “This is the main difference why people from Pakistan go there in search of jobs. Their resources are not more than our resources but justice. My job is to educate the nation. Without justice and rule of law, society cannot prosper. A society where the law does not protect the weak from the strong is a jungle. This is the story of all poor countries. I have seen these countries. That is why I started this movement 26 years ago that Pakistan is the Asian Tiger and Lahore. Another Paris cannot happen until the justice system is improved.
The PTI chairman said that when we give real freedom to the nation, this nation will automatically take the country up. If you ask overseas Pakistanis why they don’t invest in Pakistan, they will say that because they fear that if they buy a plot, it will be repossessed and they won’t be able to get possession. . How can we start a business in a country where the law does not protect people? Pakistanis living in the UK will say that heads of state who tell us to invest in Pakistan are sending their money out. Why do our politicians send money abroad? They do it because it is stolen money. The stolen money has to be sent out because it will show up here. Here, if their wealth starts to increase by billions of rupees, then the nation will definitely ask the question, where did this money come from? These people cannot answer it because it is stolen money.
When Shahbaz Sharif and his son had to send money abroad, they used to send it to the names of people who never went out of the country. In 1992, a law was made by him that whoever sends money from abroad will not be asked anything. Most of the assets of these two families (Sharif and Zardari) are outside the country.
It is the tragedy of this country that every time two families are given NRO and these people return to the country and take Pakistan’s money abroad again. All this is happening in front of the whole nation that thieves are sitting and deciding who will be the next army chief of Pakistan. What world are we living in?
“I spent 30 years in the UK. I can’t imagine that the prime minister of Britain has properties abroad. If he has properties abroad, he can’t sit in office until he answers. No idea. It cannot be that when the turn of accountability comes, the Prime Minister will run away and become the Prime Minister again after some time and his cases will be forgiven.
“Allegations were made that I made the next army chief controversial. I never made it controversial. I say army chief should be appointed on merit. I can be army chief, judge, IGP or NAB of my choice. I don’t want a head. I want the best people based on merit. Rulers want to appoint people of their choice in high positions. The IGP appointed by Shahbaz Sharif in Islamabad was going to be punished in the Safe City case. Shahbaz Sharif made him IGP because the corrupt man will now serve Shahbaz Sharif and do all his illegal work. He will do every illegal work given by him.
“This is how countries are destroyed. These people do not appoint people to high positions on merit but to do evil to those people. PMLN attacked an honest Chief Justice Sajjad Ali Shah and his chased and it was not because the Judiciary was not functioning properly. People with such a history will they sit in London and decide the next army chief?
“I want to ask their handlers if they are not worried about Pakistan. Do they not understand the situation in the country? When they imposed these thieves on the country, did they not know what these people did to the country?” will behave?
“I ask who is responsible for all this? Where is Pakistan before the no-confidence motion in March? Ask the business class, farmers and laborers of Pakistan today that after 17 years the wealth of the country was increasing. Our growth rate in the third year was 5.7%. If we had not been removed by conspiracy, today the growth rate of the country would have been 7%. We lowered oil prices because we thought we would get cheap oil from Russia. We did not want to burden the public. During this period, the dollar has become expensive by 49 rupees.
Today the wealth of Pakistan is not increasing. How will we pay off debt when our wealth does not increase? Today the country is drowning in debt. Who is responsible for imposing these thieves on us? History remembers the responsible.
The whole nation wonders what happened to Azam Swati that he would go to this extent to blackmail someone. Time is decisive. This movement is not Imran Khan’s, it is a people’s movement. A nation that is not truly free has no status. The green passport cannot be honored until we get our due.
He said that people are silenced and think what has been done to Arshad Sharif, the nation is in shock and is asking if this is the way to run the country. Until the judiciary of this country brings the powerful to justice, there can be no improvement.
PTI leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi, MNA Syed Faizul Hasan Shah, Hammad Azhar and Dr. Yasmin Rashid also addressed the rally and criticized the current rulers.
