Imran tells Nawaz not to try to become Nelson Mandela

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan criticised on Sunday the PML-N and PPP leadership for colluding against him politically.

“The 2013 elections were fixed by the PML-N and PPP who were in collusion against the PTI. They took their turns but are still in a silent agreement to counter the PTI,” Imran said.

He was addressing an election rally in Abbottabad, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

“Both parties have ruined the country. They mutually appointed the NAB chairperson,” he claimed.

He flayed the PML-N leadership over corruption, bad governance and disrespect for the judiciary.

“Nawaz Sharif was sacked for plundering the wealth of the nation, but he still asks 'mujhe kyun nikala [why did they oust me]'. It was because he plundered Rs3,000 billion from the nation,” the PTI chief said.

“He has apparently announced that he will return home but I advise him not to try to become Nelson Mandela. He was a great leader who spent 27 years in prison, whereas Nawaz Sharif can’t even think of that,” said Imran.

Imran said the auditor general of Punjab’s report exposed Shehbaz Sharif’s claims that he was not involved in corruption. APP/AFP
