ISLAMABAD, Aug 14 (APP): Chairman Pakistan Tehreek i Insaf
(PTI) Imran Khan Saturday said his party would defeat the corrupt
mafia with power of the people.
He stated this during one of his numerous speeches along route
of the PTI rally which began from Liaquat Bagh in Rawalpindi in the
afternoon.
The PTI chief said he saw a new Pakistan which was being
formed and the rally was taken out to awaken people of Pakistan.
"The day is not far off when there will be a new Pakistan."
Imran Khan said National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was
catching little thieves and questioned why it was not taking action
against Nawaz Sharif.
He asked from where Nawaz Sharif earned his billions and
termed him the biggest tax evader of Pakistan
"If we retreated from Panama papers, it will be a loss of
Pakistan and will benefit the corrupt. I will not go back until
Nawaz Sharif is held accountable."
He said mafia and people in power destroyed Pakistan, adding,
"With the power of the people we will defeat this mafia."
He said people should not have any hope from Federal Board of
Revenue (FBR), NAB and Election Commission.
"FBR will not tax the powerful crocodiles."
Present Election Commission could never hold transparent
elections, he added.
Imran said people of Pakistan were ready to defeat corruption
and the wind of change was blowing from Rawalpindi and Islamabad.
He said movement of the PTI had reached a crucial phase and it
would go on.
"Instead of responding to our questions, the government wasted
five months. We are seeking answers from Nawaz Sharif for the last
five months."
He warned that Nawaz Sharif should do something before the
rally reached Lahore. "If we came to Lahore, Nawaz Sharif will not
get a chance to leave for Jeddah."
The last destination of the rally was Lahore, he said, "When
we will reach Lahore, then there will no room for Nawaz Sharif."
He said aim of Ehtesab Rally was to strengthen Pakistan and
democracy in the country, adding corruption was destroying
institutions of the country.
Imran said, "We have to make a pledge that we will foil
conspiracies of the enemy."
Imran said, "Our children are not getting education because of
a small section of population which takes away money abroad," he
added.
Half of the population of the country was living in poverty
and half of the youth was malnourished and had stunted growth, he
added.
He said Nawaz Sharif was king of corruption and has 13 cases
against him in NAB.
People are not investing in Pakistan due to corruption, he
observed.
Talking about terrorism in the country, he mentioned the
sacrifices rendered by armed forces in the fight against terrorism.
He vowed to eradicate terrorism from the country.
Imran Khan along with PTI leaders Shah Mehmood Qureshi and
Jehangir Tareen travelled on "Azadi container" especially designed
for the rally.
The supporters and workers of PTI in the rally, were carrying
party flags, raising slogans and dancing to the tune of party songs.
The rally moving at a snail's pace reached Faisal Avenue at
midnight and concluded after the final address of the PTI chief.
