Pakistani PM Imran Khan gives two options to the opposition leaders

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said that his governmentwill be successful in improving common people’s lives on the completion ofthis tenure.

In an interview with a private TV channel, Khan said he is “the primeminister of common people and not the representative of privileged.”

Khan reiterated his stance that he will not strike a deal with oppositionparties while warning them to return the robbed wealth of the country orface charges.

Expressing his opinion on current political situation, he stated thatopposition leaders are left with only two options. “First is to returnPakistan’s looted wealth via plea bargain or face the music.”

He said many issues of the Pakistan can be resolved just by recoveringill-gotten assets from PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and former president andAsif Ali Zardari.

To a question on PDM’s January 31 ultimatum, the premier noted that theanti-government protests to oust him from power are “absolute failure”.

“People will not participate in long-march because they know this movementis not for any cause but to protect the looted wealth,” he added.

The premier reiterated the stance that PTI government was willing to holdtalks with the opposition parties on all issues except corruption.

“Ninety-five percent of corruption cases against them [opposition leaders]were registered during the tenure of the past governments,” he added.

PM Imran said his party members were also detained by NAB on corruptionallegations. If we were influencing NAB then Aleem Khan and Sibtain Khanwould have never arrested.
