Will not negotiate with 'gang of thieves', says Imran Khan
LAHORE (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday said it was his choice whether he wanted to sell the Toshakhana wristwatch or not, and ruled out the possibility of negotiating with the Pakistan Democractic Movement (PDM) led government.
Addressing a press conference at Zaman Park via video link, he said the Pakistan Democractic Movement (PDM) government was not competent enough to steer the country out of economic doldrums adding there would be no economic stability in the country without political stability.
Reacting to news reports highlighting the sale of Toshakhana wristwatch, he said he was rightful to do whatever he wanted to do with the wristwatch adding the PTI would not hold talks with the "gang of thieves".
Earlier, the former Prime Minister said Swati had been “badly tortured”, while proclaimed offenders like Suleman Shehbaz was brought back through NRO-2.
Khan posted on Twitter, saying, "If anyone wants to understand why Pakistan s economy is on the verge of collapsing, only two events are enough: Senator Swati was arrested and beaten in custody, and even in front of his grandchildren, a part of his house was torn away and locks were installed there forcibly.
He continued by saying that because Mr. Swati was the subject of multiple cases based on which he was being moved from one state to another, even human rights were disregarded in his situation.
Taking a jibe at PDM led government and allies, Khan said “Suleman Shehbaz, a proclaimed offender who was involved in money laundering cases was brought back to Pakistan by NRO-2.”
Khan also shared a Hadees-e-Mubarik in addition to his tweet saying “The blessed hadith of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) should be kept in front of everyone, in which The Prophet (PBUH) warned how injustice brings destruction to nations.”
