Imran Khan said the PML-N, PPP and JUI-F, which ruled Pakistan for 30 to 35 years, brought disrespect for the green passport due to their bad governance, besides burdening the country with huge debt.
He said the civilians, including children, women and elderly people in the country, had lost their lives due to 400 drone attacks during the period from 2008 to 2018, but neither Asif Ali Zardari nor the PML-N leaders dared to condemn those attacks and tell the world that the same were contrary to international law.
He said it was the PTI which staged protests against the drone attacks. “How the leaders who have their billions of rupees assets abroad, can condemn such attacks?” Imran Khan remarked.
Similarly, the prime minister said, during the government of Nawaz Sharif, Narendra Modi made accusations of terrorism against the Pakistan Army, but he (Nawaz Sharif) instead of taking up the issue with his Indian counterpart asked the Foreign Office Spokesman not to issue any anti-India statement.
He said when the heads of government in a country had their assets or money abroad, it could not a follow an independent foreign policy.
The prime minister questioned that the people like Asif Ali Zardari, who sought the help of US in protecting him from the country’s army through a letter – a reference to the Memogate scandal –, Shehbaz Sharif, who by speaking English and wearing a suit and tie also solicited the help of West for getting an opportunity to serve, or Fazlur Rehman would be bringing in improvement in the institutions.
“It is my message for the bouquet of thieves, forget to see such dreams,” he remarked.
