PM Imran Khan, while commencing his address to the nation after the government announced Budget 2019-20, said, “Pakistanis! Our government has presented its first-ever budget. This is the budget which will reflect ideology of New Pakistan.”

“New Pakistan will be built on principles of the state of Madina. Keep remember! Pakistan is going to be a great country. The Madina state was a model state. It is sorrowful that the principles exist only in Western world.”

He reiterated that the head of state is answerable and not above the law. The premier said, “It was the biggest principle of the Madina state that restricted the head of state to become accountable.”

“Value of humanity was present in the state and [rights of] a citizen belongs to minority community was equivalent to other citizens.”

“The last sermon of our beloved Prophet (Peace Be Upon Him) was above than the charge of human rights,” he said.

“The nation will rise now. Naya Pakistan cannot be made through a switching a button by Imran Khan.”

The premier said, “The bigger pillars [of politcs] are jailed now and nobody could even think about it. Judges of the Supreme Court were purchased in past, whereas, NAB [National Accountability Bureau] was established by the two political parties [Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)].”

PM Khan said, “Democracy is not running properly since our government is formed. Democracy runs when two different theories are present in the Parliament.”

“What’s wrong I have done with the opposition which pushes them not to let me allow to address [in the House]? Whenever, I reaches the National Assembly, the opposition members start shouting.”

PM Khan clarified again that he will not given them another National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) under pressure and the blackmailing tactics adopted by the opposition parties. I have not generated cases against opposition.

“Our country was burdened under hefty loans due to two NROs. N-League grabbed rulership of the country for two times and it sent Asif Ali Zardari behind the bars. Nawaz Sharif was awarded NRO during Pervez Musharraf’s tenure.”

“Musharraf had awarded first NRO in 2002. In 2008, leaders of both parties had arrived back and signed Charter of Democracy. Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif had appointed NAB chairman.”

The premier said that Zardari and Sharif had decided to rule the country for five year after getting turns.

He added, “Rs24,000 billion loans were taken by the previous governments as it was not the Charter of Democracy but the Charter of Corruption.”
