Standing against mafia, not politicians: Imran

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, while addressing a rally in Karachi, remarked that he is competing against a mafia and not politicians.

While addressing a rally at Bagh-e-Jinnah, the PTI chairman took a dig at Pakistan People’s Party; Imran said that ‘Zardari mafia’ has been ruling different parts of Sindh. The houses around Bilawal House were forcefully evacuated.

The cricketer-turned-politician further added that the mafia system, which has been implemented throughout the ages in Sindh, is referred to as democracy by these people. Criticizing Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership, Imran claimed that the Sharif family has forcefully occupied Punjab.

“Abid ‘Boxer’ accepted that Shehbaz Sharif used to encourage him to engage in extrajudicial killings,” Imran alleged, adding that the Sharif family laundered money and took the country's money abroad.

The PPP and PML-N endorsed the charter of democracy just so they could engage in corrupt practices, Imran added.

Imran, who arrived in Karachi earlier, is expected to head back to Islamabad at 11:00pm, according to a party spokesperson. Earlier, the PTI chairman attended a ceremony of Karachi Chambers of Commerce.
