While making it overtly clear that PTI wouldn’t accept the aforementioned scheme, Khan vowed to quash it if PTI formed government in the center.

“Federal government has punished those who are paying their taxes regularly”, asserted Khan.

Khan also took a jibe at provincial government of Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP). “Masses are oppressed in Sindh via police. Fake cases were lodged against innocents on directives of Asif Ali Zardari whereas people fear the national culprit [read Asif Zardari]”, Khan stated while adding, “Sindh IG confessed to involvement of 2500 policemen in crimes”.

While stating that that he would defeat Zardari and send latter in jail, Khan reiterated that PTI would introduce massive reforms in province if the party gained power.
