TAUNSA SHARIF -  Issuing a stern warning to his political rivals – Sharifs and Zardari, PTI chief Imran Khan said Saturday that he would send them to jail when his party comes into power and promised to recover looted wealth stashed abroad.

Addressing a political gathering in Taunsa Sharif, Imran lamented how the rich and powerful in Pakistan were able to evade arrest while the poor thieves were punished for petty crimes.

"For stealing thousands or a few hundreds of rupees, you are sent to jail. But, the influential mint money in billions from corruption and are able to stash them abroad," he added.

Imran said Ishaq Dar and Nawaz Sharif had secured a 'historic loan' for Pakistan, obviously implying in a negative sense.

"We will catch Zardari, Nawaz, Shehbaz and Ishaq Dar," said Imran. "And we will bring back their stolen wealth from abroad.

Imran urged people to rise above their fears and hold the corrupt elite to account. He said that God had sent His messengers to the world to ensure that there should be a difference between men and animals.

"Currently there are two laws operating in the world," he said. "One is the law of man and the other is the law of the jungle. God sent messengers in order to make us civilised," he added.

Imran has frequently called for the arrest of Sharif family and also fired shots at PPP Co-Chairman Asif Ali Zardari as well as his son Bilawal Bhutto Zardari.

Announcing PTI’s next move, the PTI chairman said that their next political target was PML-N chief’s younger brother Shehbaz Sharif for Hudaibiya Paper Mills case. As for Nawaz, Imran boasted that he was out for good.

In his power show in Taunsa Sharif, the PTI chairman stated that he was unaware that so many people were residing in Taunsa Sharif before arriving to meet the locals.

He said that seeing so many people come to this jamboree, he was certain that the people of Taunsa Sharif were wise and insightful.

Criticising the government, PTI chairman stressed that the rulers used 60 percent of development fund on their own city Lahore while depriving other cities their rightful share.

Imran remarked that former prime minister Nawaz had gone now and he won’t return.

He remarked that “now it’s time for Shehbaz to go”.

Speaking about prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi, he remarked that Abbasi was still saying that Nawaz was his leader. “How do you accept a criminal of the nation as your PM?”

This proves only two things; either your internal conflicts have ended or you are just as corrupt as them, Imran claimed.

Slamming the protocol received by Nawaz, Imran said, “Country’s biggest criminal is given a protocol of 40 cars.”

The PTI chief also reiterated his demand for snap elections. “Snap elections should be announced for the betterment of the country.”

He also shared his plans after coming into power. "We have to fight the curse of unemployment as it leads to poverty. We will fight poverty together."

Imran said that he wanted to uplift the farming and agricultural community. "About 70 percent of people in the country are employed in the agricultural sector."

When we come into power, we will give seeds to all the farmers and help them out, he shared.

PTI chief also promised to improve the taxation system in the country. 

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairperson Imran Khan, addressing a press conference on Friday had said  remarked that institutions protected the ‘corrupt mafia’, while addressing a press conference on Friday.

Continuing his tirade against the Sharif family, Imran remarked “Sharif family destroyed all institutions in the country.”

Since the institutions had no power, they could not take any action “when money was being looted from the country.”

However, this is not the time for old politics anymore. “It’s time for change and new politics,” he remarked.

“Politicians should lead by example,” he said, adding that in the four years of governing Khyber Pakhtunkhwa he did not make any factory or abuse his power.

“I don’t want to abuse my power to benefit myself or my family members,” said PTI chief.

“Look at the all big names in politics now, look where they were before they came into power and now where they stand,” he said.

Imran also said that he wanted to get rid of the “curse” of development funds. “In what other democracy are MNAs and MPAs issued development funds?”

These funds are used to buy people and nothing more, he said.
