‘Corrupt political mafias’ breathing their last: Imran* PTI chief says those fearing accountability have united against him
* Challenges Sharifs to resign to prove they are ‘real tigers’
By Tanveer Ahmed
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday said the time of “corrupt rulers” was nearing its end and the ruling “political mafias” were breathing their last.
While addressing a PTI Women’s Convention, he vowed to bring radical changes to empower the women of the country by putting an end to injustices meted out to them. He also vowed to introduce a uniform law for all segments of society.
During his address, Khan came hard on current rulers, saying, “All those afraid of accountability have united against PTI. They are trying to stand against the tsunami of PTI, but it would wash away all those who come in its way.”
Taking Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leadership to task, the PTI chief challenged them to resign from assemblies if they were “real tigers”. He said the PML-N did not want to resign from assemblies as it wanted an election commissioner of its choice and a share in the caretaker set-up that would hold the next general elections.
Khan said the PML-N could not defeat the PTI in elections as masses came to its rallies voluntarily while those at the PML-N rallies lacked enthusiasm and commitment. He said the PTI would stand by the marginalised segments of society and develop a new Pakistan by bringing a revolution in the country.
Khan said that PTI on coming to power would provide legal aid to women that could not afford it and ensure women were given their due share in inheritance.
He lauded the enthusiasm shown at the party’s women’s convention, saying it was very encouraging.
PTI central leader Javed Hashmi said his party was determined to bring change in the country and his leader was not alone in that cause as the whole party stood behind him.
