Imran Khan Thanks Lawmakers

Prime Minister Imran Khan thanked lawmakers, including his allies, for staying by his side through thick and thin. He applauded the way his party Pakistan Tehreek e Insaf (PTI) reacted after the Islamabad Senate general seat upset. Imran Khan said that this experience had made his party leaders tougher.

Holy Prophet (PBUH) is a role model for everyone

Imran Khan said that the life of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is a role model for every person of this world who believes in Allah and the Day of Judgment. The world has seen a lot of scholars, philosophers and preachers but none was as great as the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH). Allah sent His messengers in every period of history to guide the humanity. Imran Khan said that if any individual wants to be successful in life, he/she should follow guidance of Holy Prophet (PBUH).

Corruption

Speaking about the corruption, Imran Khan said that it was embarrassing the way elections were held in Pakistan. He named PPP co-chair Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N Supremo Nawaz Sharif, and said that they thieves who were blackmailing his government for an NRO. Imran Khan said that former president Asif Ali Zardari was commonly referred to in phrases such as “one Zardari trumps all” “(roughly translated to aik Zardari sab pe bhaari)” and “Mr 10 per cent” because of his corrupt practices. Imran Khan said that Nawaz Sharif had faked sickness to go abroad so that he could avoid the legal consequences of his corruption and theft. The Prime Minister said that sons of Nawaz Sharif are living in the most expensive residential area of London where the locals rarely get property. He questioned, “From where did all the money come to buy such properties?” Adding that “These people even tried to sabotage FATF legislation and had linked passing of the FATF legislation to amendments in the NAB law.” Imran Khan said that it was all done just because to hide their corruption. He criticized former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gilani, who beat PTI’s Hafeez Shaikh in the recent Senate polls, as one of the most corrupt politicians in the country.
