ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – While vowing to take accountability drive to its logical end, Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Saturday tagged whole opposition as ‘culprits of the nation’.
Khan—who assumed premiership on August 18—claimed the opposition has congregated to save their assets [acquire by illicit means]. The premier reiterated that neither he would spare anyone nor he would get pressurized.
PM taunted that Shehbaz Sharif [Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz’s president and former chief minister of Punjab] was trying to imitate Nelson Mandela. Khan reaffirmed his resolve to bring back looted wealth stashed in foreign banks.
Responding to Shehbaz’s statement about existence of ‘unholy alliance’ between National Accountability Bureau (NAB) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Khan stated that the premier anti-graft watchdog is an independent state-institution.
“Not a single case of NAB has been lodged in our tenure”, the premier apprised attendants.
On anticipated hike in electricity and gas tariffs, the PM replied that he did not want to further shift burden on already inflation and poverty-stricken masses. “We want to shift minimum burden of economic quagmire on masses”, the premier was quoted as saying.
“The govt will complete mega-project of 5 million houses at every cost”, reiterated Khan.
