LAHORE: Interior Minister Ahsan Iqbal has declared Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan and his sit-ins chief problems of today’s Pakistan.
Addressing a seminar here Sunday in connection with the death anniversary of Khawaja Rafique, Ahsan Iqbal said that Pakistan was kept away from the vision of Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah for last 70 years.
He said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) government put the country on the path of progress and development. He said their government brought Balochistan into national stream.
Criticizing Imran Khan, Ahsan Iqbal said that an amateur cannot run a government and its affairs. He said that a chairman of union council has more work experience than Imran.
“The PTI chairman failed to produce 10MW of electricity in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa,” he said.
During the address, Ahsan Iqbal appealed Pakistan Awami Tehrik (PAT) Chief Tahir-ul-Qadri to restrain from creating anarchy in the country. He said only peace and stability can ensure Pakistan’s progress.
The Interior minister claimed those who wished to oust the democratic government were behind Model Town massacre in 2014.
The federal minister revealed that Punjab Chief Minister (CM) Shehbaz Sharif broke down in tears in one of the meetings over the issue and said that he thinks of the incident as a burden on his conscience.
There is no tolerance and space for bullets in politics that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) believes in, he had said, told Iqbal.
Iqbal said that tenure of former dictator Pervez Musharraf was nothing compared to what has been going on in KP by PTI government.
The interior minister rhetorically asked how many mega watt of electricity has been produced by PTI after Imran Khan claimed to make the province self-sufficient. He alleged Khan of shutting down Ehtesab Commission after the appointed chief nabbed people close to PTI chief.
Imran cut loose Justice Wajeehuddin after he alleged the party of corruption and stated that the party is taken over by land-grabbing mafia and corrupt people, Ahsan Iqbal claimed.
The federal minister claimed that PTI chief is demanding premature elections to save himself embarrassment as his senators have told him to cast their votes in Senate elections by their will and not according to party’s position.
