Will continue to speak against ex-army chief Bajwa, says Imran Khan
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Friday that he will continue to speak against former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa.
The deposed premier was expressing views during his meetup with the court reporters, during which he said, "Punjab Chief Minister Parvez Elahi was having his own opinion over the ex-army chief [Bajwa], and Elahi could not stop us from speaking against him [Bajwa]."
Talking about the establishment, Mr Khan said that there was no tussle with it, but the PTI was battling for the sake of justice.
Clearing the air over the no-confidence motion, Mr Khan said, "If the court will ask to take the vote of confidence on January 11, we will be ready."
Continuing to talk about Elahi’s vote of confidence, Mr Khan said, "In Elahi’s vote of confidence, we believe that the establishment was not neutral. Contacts were being made with the PTI lawmakers, the confirmation of which was given by three of the lawmakers".
He also alleged that all the efforts were being made to install the PML-N s government in Punjab.
Recalling the negotiations with the government, Mr Khan said, "The PTI will not do negotiations with the looters."
Hurling allegations at ex- army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, Mr Khan claimed that he [Bajwa] was not against corruption, and that was why all the cases against his [Imran’s] opponents had been ended.
Besides expressing his views on the political situation, Mr Khan also underscored the cricketing situation of the country and lambasted Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Management Committee Chairman Najam Sethi.
