Election: Imran urges people to reject corrupt politicians

CHARSADDA: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Imran Khan Thursday urged people to change their destiny by voting sincere leaders into power and reject those who were involved in corruption and money laundering during their terms in the government.

Addressing a huge public gathering at Charsadda, he urged the people to help him make a new Pakistan. He claimed that Pakistani currency was devalued owing to transfer of billions of embezzled money that was illegally taken out of the country by corrupt leaders adding the money transfer had indebted the nation of 27,000 billion rupees. Imran alleged former prime minister, Nawaz Sharif did huge corruption. Common people were being punished for petty thefts, while those who made billions of rupees illegally were still at large, he added.

He said that Pakistanis had purchased property worth Rs 900 billion in Dubai from the looted money during the last four years. He quipped that Shahbaz Sharif who claimed to have turned Lahore into Paris should see the situation in the city after the recent rains, maintaining that all the development was restricted to advertisement campaigns to mislead the people. He said if voted to power, the PTI would steer the country out of crises by eliminating corruption and inviting foreign investment and reducing taxes. The institutions would be strengthened to achieve the desired goals, he added.
