Imran questions appointment of Sharif as ‘Quaid for life’

Imran Khan

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Wednesday said there is no such notion of appointing someone as party president for life in a genuine democratic political party.

Talking to press here, the PTI chief said former president Zia-ul-Haq was acceptable to Nawaz Sharif but General (retd) Pervez Musharraf was no good for him.

He commended PML-N leader Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan’s role and said Nisar maintained his dignity after denying to work under Maryam Nawaz, ousted premier Nawaz Sharif’s daughter.

Khan said the Sharif brothers have been plundering the nation’s wealth through their corrupt practices. “Shehbaz Sharif has spent Rs 9 trillion in last nine year [in his tenure as Chief Minister Punjab],” he claimed.

He went on saying that Sharifs undertaken mega projects to receive heavy kickbacks.

Deploring the passage of anti-accountability bill in the Punjab assembly, Khan said the entire nation condemned the resolution passed against National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

“Are they [Sharif brothers and their ruling party] above the law,” he asked.

He said a new state-of-the-art hospital, Shaukat Khanum Hospital, in Peshawar was built at cost of Rs 4 billion. “Shehbaz must answer where he has invested Rs 9 trillion,” he underlined.

Khan alleged that the brothers have disappeared Faisal Subhan, an official who allegedly confessed that Shehbaz received huge kickbacks in Multan Metro Bus Project. “The truth he revealed [before Chinese regulatory authorities] was his sole crime,” the PTI chief asserted.

Taking a jibe at PML-N lawmakers, he said they should pass a law allowing the Sharifs to take away the money of tax payers abroad.
