ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah Khan on Tuesday said that Imran Khan was ridiculing the nation and his motives will be exposed soon.
Talking to a private news channel, he said that due to Imran’s protests the Saudi crown prince has postponed his visit which would have benefited Pakistan’s economy up to $17 billion.
He termed the PTI’s long march failed despite using resources of the KP and Punjab provincial governments and police support. The PTI leaders were targeting state institutions to promote their foreign agenda, he said, adding that Imran was giving anti-state statements in frustration.
Rana Sanaullah called Imran Khan to conduct a medical examination of his injuries by an independent medical board to verify the false claim of receiving four bullets.
“If it is proved that Imran received four bullets, I will resign from politics forever,” Rana Sanaullah challenged.
The accused of the firing on Imran Khan has been arrested by their workers and now he is in police custody which was proven self-motivated, he added.
Rana Sanaullah said that Imran Khan has been changing his narrative on daily basis to malign the state institution.
He said that Imran Khan through long-march wants to create chaos in the country, adding, we will not allow this to happen in future. He said the government would not compromise on capital’s security and would provide protection of the lives, and properties of its residents.
To a query about the Arshad Sharif murder case, he said that if six persons are handed over to him he would sum up the whole issue within six days adding that the available evidences show that Arshad Sharif’s murder was planned.
Constitutional procedure followed for IK removal
Meanwhile, Federal Minister Mian Javed Latif on Tuesday said that coalition partners had adopted a constitutional procedure for the removal of former prime minister Imran Khan, who had been ousted from power through vote of ‘no confidence’.
Imran Khan, after losing power, had started a campaign to malign national institutions, he said while talking to a private TV channel.
The minister said that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) leaders had been using derogatory language against the heads of national institutions and added the last government had made fake cases against its political opponents.
The PTI chief’s foreign conspiracy narrative was based on lies, he said, and added that the party had lost its popularity due to weak policies. The coalition government, Javed said, was taking all necessary steps for strengthening the democratic system in the country.
