KOT ADDU: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan continued his tirade against the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz on Friday and claimed that parliament ‘protected the corrupt mafia’.
Addressing a political rally in Kot Addu, Imran also criticised the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) leaders.
He said that a democratic set-up ensures supremacy of law, which was not the case in the present situation of the country. He said that he went to all the institutions to seek action against Nawaz’s corruption. “We asked for answers but no one did anything to help us. Rather they protected Nawaz and his family,” he remarked, while speaking about National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq.
“We went to the Supreme Court after all institutions refused to help us,” he said, adding that corrupt rulers hamper a country’s progress.
“Iqama Khawaja Asif” had advised the Sharif family that people would forget about Panama case in a few days, he alleged. “I want to ask Asif [that] if his money was stolen will the people forget about it? You looted the money of the people of the nation.”
Those corrupt people had been looting the country and yet their greediness had no bounds, he said, adding that they “don’t care about problems of the people”.
He said it was Allah Almighty’s blessing that the nation knows “what’s going wrong with the country”. He criticised the PML-N leadership by alleging that the family “runs out of Pakistan to London if someone has a cough, let alone a serious condition”.
