Those making anti-military statements will not be spared: PM Imran
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Prime Minister Imran Khan has said that those making anti-military statements and attacking the national institutions would not be spared.
Speaking with the digital media representatives PM Imran Khan said that opposition is targeting military leadership and pressurizing institutions to protect their corruption and loot.
He said that they are telling the army to overthrow an elected democratic government. In the past the military leadership was criticized during the martial laws, but now, in the democratic era, why are they targeting the military.
PM said that as soon as our government was formed, the opposition said that the country was ruined because they knew that they have destroyed the country s economy and institutions.
Imran Khan said that they think that they will blackmail me. I am aware of the problems of the common man regarding inflation. Those who do not perform will be replaced. Referring to the new CCPO Lahore, he said that let s see how he performs.
Prime Minister said that Khawaja Asif was working for a foreign company, while serving as defence minister and foreign minister of Pakistan. Former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, and other Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leaders, including Ahsan Iqbal and Khawaja Asif, had residences abroad. They possessed the Iqamas.
He said that the purpose of the Iqama was to protect the stolen money, as because of the Iqamas, the repatriation of the looted wealth becomes difficult.
Imran said he had taken a difficult path of not giving the corrupt any amnesty. “My life will be easier if I give NRO to the gang of corrupts, he added.
The prime minister said that former president Musharraf was better than the leaders of these two parties, but he was wrong in giving them the NRO. The country was destroyed not by the corruption of the lower class but by the corruption of the government and rulers. PDM is a gang of thieves, looters and robbers, this is a decisive battle.
Prime Minister slammed the opposition’s hypocritical stance towards the coronavirus pandemic. He said that he was pressured to impose a complete lockdown in the first Covid-19 wave. But now when the second wave and a more dangerous one has set in, they are holding rallies and planning marches.
The prime minister while talking about the killing of 11 coal miners in Machh area said that he was deeply saddened by the atrocities committed against the Hazara community. He said that India is behind terrorism in Balochistan.
He said that some terrorist groups and ISIS which claimed the Machh massacre has India’s support adding that he had informed the cabinet in March about India s efforts for inciting sectarian clashes in Pakistan. India is trying to trigger Shia-Sunni riots in Pakistan,” he added.
PM Imran said that government is taking all possible steps for the security of the Hazara community. He praised the intelligence agencies for doing their level best to prevent such clashes and said that our security agencies have arrested several groups before they could carry out terrorist activities.
