Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf to protest against price hike on Dec 22
Imran Khan says Nawaz Sharif government has introduced schemes to facilitate tax evaders.
LAHORE (Dunya News) - Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan has said that the government of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz has failed to control price hike and an end to US drone strikes in Tribal areas of Pakistan.
Addressing a press conference in Lahore on Friday, Imran Khan said that those who blame PTI of backing Taliban, have themselves become servants of the US.
Criticising the PML-N government, Imran Khan said PML-N came into power after striking a deal with the US.
He said that Information Minister of Pakistan Pervaiz Rashid was behaving like spokesperson of the US State Department.
The PTI chief said that the US would not leave Afghanistan even after NATO forces pullout and it would UAV program for 10 years.
Slamming the economic planning of the government, the PTI chief said that government of Sharif brothers was introducing schemes for the benefit of tax evaders that would increase burden of taxes on salaried class. He said that investors would not come to Pakistan until peace is not restored in the country.
He said that the black money could not bring peace in the country even if it was filtered through different schemes.
Imran said that his party will hold a protest against inflation and price hike on December 22.
Imran Khan said that they blocked NATO supplies in accordance with the unanimous resolutions, as per Peshawar High Court decision.
He further said that they do not want to fight with the US, but they want to liberate this country from the claws of US slavery.
The PTI chief condemned recent drone strike in Miranshah and said that it had become obvious that the US wanted to sabotage peace process in Pakistan.
Earlier, Central Information Secretary of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf, Shireen Mazari issued a strong condemnation of the drone attack in Miranshah last night.
In a statement, Shireen Mazari said it showed once again that the US has nothing but contempt for Pakistan s leadership as it continues to assume these leaders will pay mere lip service to demands of stopping drones when in reality they remain subservient to the US.
