Imran said he won't make projects like Metro after coming in power, but public welfare projects

ISLAMABAD: (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has on Thursday said that status quo held Pakistan from becoming a welfare state. He said that after coming to power, his government would focus on welfare projects instead of Metro buses, reported Dunya News.

Addressing the local body ticket-holders in Islamabad, Imran Khan once again complained about party discipline. He had to mention the indiscipline of the PTI workers when they yet again displayed indiscipline during the event.

Imran said that Pakistan had to be an Islamic welfare state but the status quo held it from becoming one. He said that the rulers are spending their lives like kings with borrowed money.

“Nobody can stop PTI from making a ‘New’ Pakistan. We won’t make projects like Metro buses after coming to power but projects like Chashma Right Canal”, said PTI Chairman. He also expressed grief over awarding of the local body election tickets to the relatives of the party bigwigs in Khyber Pakhtunkhawa (KP).
