LAHORE - PML-N President and Opposition Leader in National Assembly Shehbaz Sharif has demanded that Prime Minister Imran Khan step down and face the law in light of the Daska election inquiry report.
He stressed that immediate action must be taken on the Daska election inquiry report.
In a statement, Shehbaz said that the PTI government was trying to steal not just the public money from their pockets but also their right to vote to elect their representatives.
“Imran Niazi must answer why he is not taking action against the perpetrators when the evidence has clearly proved rigging in the election. Imran Niazi boasts everyday about bringing the powerful in compliance with the law. Why is he reluctant now? It is because he has himself been caught red-handed. It takes a lot to voluntarily present oneself for accountability and legal proceedings like Nawaz Sharif. If Imran has any regard for law, decency, democracy and political integrity, he should resign and face the law,” he stated.
The PML-N president said that Imran came up with new rigging techniques, in the form of his so-called election reforms, after his tactics of rigging the elections failed in Daska. He pledged to fight these reforms based on malafide about the EVMs, online voting, and the NAB Amendment Ordinance at every forum. He said that all public-friendly political parties had joined hands to foil PTI’s plan of enslaving the nation. He said that the sinister conspiracy would be buried along with the long list of dark deeds of the disastrous Imran government.
Also, the PML-N president lashed out at the government for the procurement of LNG at, ‘what he called’, the historic high rates and warned that it would add fuel to the fire.
Shehbaz said that the nation was already being crushed under the avalanche of PTI’s corruption and incompetence. “The Imran government has made sugar, flour, oil, petrol, medicines unaffordable for the poor Pakistanis,” he added.
He further stated: “This procurement of LNG at more than $30 mmbtu is another mega scandal that is needed to be investigated. The people of Pakistan will pay for this disastrous deal by the tyrannical Imran government.”
Shehbaz said that the PTI government, which was declared the most corrupt by Transparency International, came up with the NAB Amendment Ordinance to conceal their theft and corruption instead of punishing the corrupt.
