Won't spare those who looted Pakistan, PM Imran addresses NA
Those who looted money will be held accountable
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Newly elected Prime Minister of Pakistan Imran Khan on Friday no neither he would spare anyone who looted the country nor any National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) would be given to any robber.
Addressing on the floor of the House, he thanked Almighty Allah and the nation for supporting him.
“Those who looted money will be held accountable,” he said and added he will not spare anyone who looted the country.
Khan promised that he will the change masses were longing for for the last 70 years, adding that he will introduce strict accountability for all.
The newly-elected prime minister said that he will answer twice a month in National Assembly as prime minister.
“Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah is my real hero,” he said.
The PTI chairman said that he had complained about four constituencies in 2013, adding that the recount was refused in four constituencies in 2013.
Imran Khan said neither his father was never in politics nor he had political experience. “I struggled for 22 years and I am proud that we can lead this country to become like how our hero Quaid-e-Azam envisioned. His struggle was the strongest.”
He said: “We will together debate and think on how to generate our own revenues so that we never have to be dependent on another country.”
The newly-elected prime minister said that for all those making noise today on rigging, you were the same people who did not open up only 4 constituencies we asked for post 2013. And when they went to courts, they all had discrepancies.
He asked why were they not investigated and why was there no accountability of people who were responsible for massive faults in the election. If it had been done, the electoral system would have been fixed today, he added.
Khan further asked: “Why did the sitting previous government not take action against any of the missing form 15’s and finding of rigging? When I said all this; I was told I am an establishment plant.”
The PTI chairman said that no one had ever been able to blackmail him before and I tell you please go ahead and protest and hit the streets, we will provide the container to you.
“I challenge Shahbaz Sharif and Co. to spend even one month protesting. But no matter what you do, you will not get an NRO. So, you can forget it!”
Earlier, lawmakers had endorsed Imran Khan as their next prime minister, ahead of a ceremony that should see the World Cup cricket hero sworn in as leader of the nuclear-armed nation.
Khan scraped together a simple majority in a confidence vote held in the lower house of parliament, three weeks after an election tainted by claims of military meddling and ballot rigging.
"Imran Khan has secured 176 votes," National Assembly speaker Asad Qaiser said after the vote, broadcast live from the lower house of parliament.
He had needed 172 votes for a majority. His only rival, Shahbaz Sharif of the ousted Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), won 96 votes, Qaiser said, with some opposition parties including the third-largest Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) abstaining from the vote.
The result brings him one step closer to ending decades of rotating leadership between the PML-N and the PPP, punctuated by periods of military rule.
Khan, clad in a waistcoat and traditional white shalwar kameez garments, smiled broadly and could be seen wiping tears from his eyes while clutching prayer beads as the count was announced.
He had appeared relaxed before the vote, smiling and shaking hands with other parliamentarians, including Sharif.
The former cricketer, who captained Pakistan to World Cup victory in 1992, won the July 25 election but fell short of an outright majority, forcing him to partner with smaller parties and independents in order to form a government.
