PESHAWAR - The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan, said on Wednesday that the disqualified prime minister, Nawaz Sharif, have fooled the court as well as the people of Pakistan by presenting a fake letter in the Supreme Court. He also said that he would quit politics, if a single document of his money trail proved counterfeit.
The PTI chief expressed these views, while talking to media after inaugurating a new police line in Kohat on Wednesday.
He alleged that Nawaz Sharif looted money from Pakistan and sent it abroad illegally through money laundering. Khan remarked that he had bought London flat in 1984 when he was the number one all-rounder in the world. The PTI chief claimed that he submitted 60 documents regarding his money trail in the apex court, whereas Nawaz failed to produce even a single document.
Imran also affirmed that he did not hold any public office, when he purchased the property, and that was the reason why he was not answerable.
To a question on the Election Act 2017, the PTI chief said that those 160 Members National Assembly (MNAs) should be ashamed of themselves who helped Nawaz Sharif in retaining his party post and saved him from ouster. The PTI chairman claimed that people of Pakistan would let everyone know whether the change had come or not in the next general elections.
He commented that Nawaz asked in Abbottabad about the progress in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa.
Khan maintained that the ousted premier addressed the people without using bulletproof glass in Abbottabad, and that proved the change and progress made by the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa government with respect to law and order.
He said that if Nawaz Sharif had presented the genuine money trail, today he would not have been asking people why he was ousted from his seat.
The PTI chief alleged that Sharif had fooled the people for the last 30 years.
He said that one could judge the performance of the KP police by the fact that the last years proved most peaceful as compared to the previous 10 years.
Commenting on the DI Khan incident, Imran Khan said that political rivals “dramatised” the case and that he himself asked inspector-general of police within 24 hours of the report of case to arrest persons involved in the heinous crime.
He said that out of nine accuse eight accused had been arrested already.
