Jehangir Tareen is ATM of Imran: Nawaz

SWAT: Deposed and disqualified former prime minster and Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leader and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif while criticising Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said that Jehangir Tareen is ATM machine of Imran Khan. Nawaz asked Imran Khan about the money spent on Peshawar Metro buses and Billion Tree Tsunami project in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The PML-N leader was addressing a public gathering in Swat on Sunday, where the rival PTI has a ruling government.

“Lahore Metro project was made from Rs40 billion but Peshawar Metro cost Rs70 billion, where is the rest of the money?” said Nawaz.

The former prime minister said that Imran personally used Jahangir Tareen’s helicopter and ‘used all his funds’.

In his address, Nawaz while calling Imran Khan ‘Ilzam Khan’, said that the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief will be ousted from the province as people have vowed to bring change.

Nawaz said that Imran’s government did nothing in the province. “Has any school changed here? No new schools have been constructed here,” said the former prime minister.

“If anyone has filled their pockets with your money, then Amir Muqam is about to come here and retrieve your money,” said Nawaz.

The former prime minister alleged that the PTI chairman has usurped the money of his aide Jahangir Tareen, who he referred as ‘Imran’s ATM’.

Nawaz Sharif said that if people of the province wanted to witness development they should go to Punjab.

PML-N leader Maryam Nawaz also addressed the rally earlier.

“People say that Nawaz’s narrative has gained popularity,” she said, adding that the former prime minister’s narrative was based on truth and against injustice.

She said that Imran Khan and former president Asif Ali Zardari didn’t unite for safeguarding the public’s agenda.

Maryam, in her speech, reiterated that Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman and Pakistan People’s Party co-chairman have colluded, calling them ‘brothers’.

She said that whatever happened to the votes given by the masses ‘was a mockery of Pakistan’s law and Constitution’.

She said that when Khyber Pakhtunkhwa was surrounded by issues such as floods and dengue outbreak, Imran Khan was nowhere to be seen.

Maryam claimed that conspiracies are being hatched against the vote, adding that Imran and KP ministers are being used as pawns.

The PML-N leader said that former military ruler Pervez Musharraf violated the constitution and imposed emergency, which also disgraced the sanctity of the vote.
