KOTLI, Azad Kashmir:Prime Minister Imran Khan on Friday said contrary to the corrupt leaders, who being the slaves of their wealth could not speak against tyranny of Narendra Modi regime and its RSS ideology, he would continue to plead the case of innocent Kashmiris at all international fora.
“When you have money abroad, you become the slave of that wealth. When you have your stolen properties and wealth abroad, you are controlled from abroad,” Imran Khan said while addressing a large public gathering here on the last day of election campaign for the AJK Legislative Assembly.
The prime minister said Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Benazir Bhutto and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif, who were part of the All Pakistan Democratic Movement (APDM) along with the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), wanted to boycott the the 2008 general election but later decided to take part in the polls on foreign influence.
Imran Khan referred to a telephonic conversation between Benazir Bhutto and Bilawal Zardari Bhutto mentioned on page 292 of a book titled “The Way of the World” written by Ron Suskind, during which she told the details of her bank accounts and properties abroad to her son.
He said the conversation, which was recorded by a foreign agency, later led to a deal (National Reconciliation Ordinance – NRO) between Benazir Bhutto and the then President Pervez Musharraf on foreign influence.
“When politicians have their stolen wealth abroad, it comes in the knowledge of Western countries, which then control such individuals,” he remarked.
Similarly, Nawaz Sharif, who was part of the APDM which wanted to boycott the 2008 election and was demanding restoration of the chief justice, later decided to take part in general election on the orders from abroad, the prime minister added.
“Leaving us (APDM) standing at a canal bridge, Nawaz Sharif decided to participate in the 2008 general election,” Imran Khan remarked.
