ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has claimed that the Pakistan Tehreek-e- Insaf’s campaign of `Jail Bharo Tehreek’ (court arrest) drive has badly failed as hardly 300 to 400 people joined the PTI’s drama.

Addressing a press conference here on Wednesday, he termed the ‘court arrest movement’ a conspiracy against the country, he said it should have commenced with the arrest of Imran Khan, who was trying to escape from accountability through such tactics.

The minister said for the last nine months, Imran Khan had been changing his stance over the dismissal of his government by negating his own statements one after the other.

The incompetent and inefficient former rulers had conspired against the country and ruined its economy since they were involved in foreign funding and Toshakhana theft, he added.

Imran Khan, he said, ruled at the federal level for four years and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa for 10 years but miserably failed to deliver to the people.

Rana said during his tenure as prime minister, Imran Khan misused the ‘state power’ to fill his pockets with illegal gains and benefits.

The PTI leadership, he added, sent their political opponents to jail and used public funds to spread baseless propaganda against their political opponents. However, despite having all the state power for four years, they could not prove even a single penny of corruption against them (opponents).

The entire Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz leadership, including Nawaz Sharif, Maryam Nawaz, Shehbaz Sharif, and Hamza Shehbaz were placed in death cells to settle political scores, he said.

He said: “When they could not prove any charges (against the opponents), they pushed the country towards the economic disaster, rendered youth unemployed, and did compromise on the Kashmir issue.”

The minister said the PTI rulers destroyed each and every sector of the country and today the people were suffering from its consequences.
