The PTI chief began his press conference by condoling the demise of former air chief Air Marshal Asghar Khan, who passed away earlier today.
Imran recalled the air marshal’s struggle in getting the Supreme Court to hear his petition alleging misconduct on part of the country’s military establishment in favour of Nawaz Sharif in the 1990 elections.
“The mafia [of Nawaz] controls the country’s institutions,” lamented Imran.
Rejecting the recent US move to curtail aid to Pakistan for its alleged failure to cooperate in the war against terrorism, Imran blamed the country’s political leadership for Pakistan’s present state of crisis.
“The US is blaming Pakistan for its failures in Afghanistan,” said the PTI chief.
He criticised the incumbent government after the United States cut military aid to the country and questioned why was the prime minister not active in handling the situation.
The PTI chief alleged that country’s leadership is itself portraying a negative image, hence, why “would the US be any different”.
He added that the Sharif brothers are belittling the country to save themselves and their ill-gotten wealth.
“When the country’s leadership itself passes negative statements, why would anyone else stand with the country.”
Imran also alleged that deposed prime minister Nawaz Sharif was blaming the Army and the judiciary to save the wealth “he has stolen from Pakistan”.
Referring to Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif, Imran said when Asif visits foreign countries he claims the PML-N is liberal while the PTI is with the religious parties.
“The United States is insulting us over Rs25 billion while the two towers owned by Dar’s children are worth that much,” claimed the PTI chief.
Imran continued his criticism of the ruling party and the Sharif brothers, further adding that the Sharif brothers had blamed Raheel Sharif for not sending troops to Yemen when Saudi Arabia had asked for assistance.
Referring to the war in Afghanistan, PTI chairman said Pakistan’s eastern neighbour still does not control half of its territory.
“The US is scapegoating Pakistan to hide their failures in Afghanistan.”
