Summary The PTI chief has attracted protests not only from land owners but also from other locals
MIANWALI (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan’s own tribe turned against him after his ‘polite’ expression of what was perceived as a veiled threat, Dunya News reported.
The members of Khan’s own clan turned against him when he asked them to give up their lands to build a sports stadium.
“I’m asking you politely now, sell your lands to us so we can build a sports stadium”, he had said, adding that the land will be taken away anyway when PTI comes in power.
The tribe members said that they are the rightful owners of those lands of which no one can deprive them.
What will such a leader do if he comes into power who wants to expel his own people even before? They asked.
The land owners who had donated 40 kanal of land to Imran Khan for university have now taken a firm stance not to give any it away any further.
They say Khan who used to beg for the land is now giving veiled threats, adding that he can do whatever he wants.
The land owners have protested against Khan’s statement and said that they will move to court if forced out of their land. “How can a leader do justice with a nation when he can’t do justice with own people?” one protester asked.
The PTI chief has attracted protests not only from land owners but also from other locals.
