ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said those involved in theft of a thousand rupees were in prison, while those who had looted billions were free.
“Let NAB be handed over to me for three months. I will hang all looters upside down. There is a need to change the prime minister rather than NAB ordinance,” he said while talking to journalists outside Supreme Court (SC) on Friday.
He underlined, “It was very difficult to find out a Sadiq and Amin in the country. I have heard that a new Qatari letter is coming. Rulers stand mired in the Panama case.”
He held that the PM himself claimed he had all the evidence. “But we came to know in court that he has no evidence. Therefore, the PM is escaping from court. He is answerable; this is a democracy, not a dictatorship.”
Those of the PML-N were afraid of court and they were now trying to escape, he said. “Counsel for PM is finding excuses. It seems from their arguments that it is difficult to find a Sadiq and Amin in the country. Sharif family never said they are owners of Mayfair flats. No one is talking about Maryam Nawaz as beneficiary owner. But ICIJ has already said Maryam Nawaz is beneficiary owner. Does the PM not know his children have become billionaires?” he asked.
He went on to say that no money trail has come to the fore so far. “A corrupt prime minister will never let National Accountability Bureau (NAB) do accountability.”
He said the entire western world holds their leaders up to standards of morality and their leaders could not lie and urged such standards to be brought to Pakistan as well.
