ISLAMABAD: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah Khan on Sunday fired a diatribe at Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan, saying that with the announcement of a verdict in the foreign funding case, the character of the former premier has been exposed.
Responding to Sheikh Rashid’s statement, Rana Sanaullah said that Imran Khan is trying to divert attention from his theft for eight years. He went on to say that it has been proved that Akbar S Babar is righteous.
Moreover, the Interior Minister condemned the vilification campaign against the Army.
Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah claimed that former prime minister Imran Khan will suffer defeat during the upcoming by-elections in all the nine National Assembly constituencies that fell vacant after the NA speaker accepted the resignations of the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) MPs.
Terming the party’s back-to-back nationwide rallies “political stunts”, Sanaullah declared that Khan was trying to divert attention from his “theft”.
It is pertinent to mention here the PTI is preparing to stage a grand power show at Islamabad’s Parade Ground to decide its strategy with party supporters on the eve of Independence Day.
Meanwhile in a statement, the interior minister said the PTI is allowed to stage a public gathering at the Parade Ground, adding, however, it will be a political stunt.
“Whoever will not cooperate with the FIA relating to an inquiry into the prohibited funding case [against PTI] will be arrested,” warned the interior minister.
Without giving an exact time frame, Sanaullah maintained that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif will return to his homeland ahead of the next general elections.
Reacting to Sanaullah, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry advised the interior minister to be careful while giving remarks about party leadership.
“Your value is not more than an SHO of the Kohsar police station,” the PTI leader told the interior minister as the ruling PML-N has no government in any province of the country.
Fawad Chaudhry also warned the interior minister of the consequences of his statements.
Taking a jab at the interior minister, the PTI leader said that Sanaullah did not visit Faisalabad since PML-N lost its government in Punjab.
