Islamabad: Chairman, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan said on Friday that another move was on to bring a National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO), adding PTI would come to streets in case NRO was done.
Addressing a news conference here, he said the ideology of former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is corruption. Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) president Nawaz Sharif’s ideology is nothing but to stash wealth by corruption and that he is resorting to graft through his ‘front men’, he added.
Khan alleged that Nawaz’s son, Hussain Nawaz working as his ‘frontman’ in Saudi Arabia and Hassan in London. He accused Nawaz Sharif to having looted tax payers’ money and stashing it in foreign bank accounts. He further claimed that Saeed Sheikh and Saifur Rehman are Nawaz’s ‘frontmen’ in the United States (US) and Qatar. He said Ishaq Dar is playing front man role of Nawaz’ Sharif, he leveled serious allegations of financial wrongdoings against the former finance minister. He said this is all mafia involved in corruption.
Imran Khan said Dar owned a bicycle shop before meeting with Nawaz Sharif and Shahbaz Sharif. “When Dar was riding motorbike i was purchasing flats in London,” he added. He said a company of Ishaq Dar owns 52 villas in Dubai, adding that the former minister was receiving millions of dirhams from the HTS company. He said money was also being transferred to the company from other countries which means Dar owns more companies abroad.
“Where is Ishaq Dar getting all the money from? They’re all interlinked. We are facing a mafia,” he said, adding that the “Hudaibiya Paper Mills is the real money trail.” “Ishaq Dar has 11 companies in Dubai. Hussain Nawaz and Safdar are also employees of these companies,” he claimed. He said the reason Nawaz is “raising so much hue and cry over his ouster is because he is afraid the rest of his [ill-gotten] wealth would be disclosed next.”
The PTI chief assured that the entire nation stands with the courts. He said the courts should not feel any pressure from this mafia.” Imran said he had been waiting for Nawaz to start the ‘campaign’ that the PML-N leader had said he would. “But now we are finding out, these [two] brothers are starting the campaign in Saudi Arabia.”
About his London flat, the PTI chief said he provided the courts with all the documents that they asked for regarding his properties.“But all they [Sharif family] have is a Qatari letter to show for the billions of rupees they have looted from this nation.” He added that the Sharifs are afraid of accountability which is why they are creating “so much noise”. “The courts should either take action or abolish the contempt of court rule,” he demanded.
He demanded the government to either take action against influential persons or repeal contempt of court law.
PTI chief asserted that foreign minister Khawaja Asif cannot escape accountability as well as details of his offshore company have come to light. He claimed that all the corrupt lawmakers are worried and are attempting to pressurize the judiciary. He said that the entire ‘mafia gang’ of Nawaz would have its turn and would be punished in accordance with the law.
Khan criticised National Accountability Bureau (NAB) by questioning the alleged inaction over fraud exposed in Chinese company’s case.
While talking about Model Town tragedy, he said that the incident that surfaced on July 17, 2014 is not a political issue but one that concerns humanity. He urged all political parties to support Pakistan Awami Tehreek (PAT) chief Dr Tahirul Qadri is his struggle against the incumbent government. He demanded off the government to introduce ease to the process of taxpaying and that money laundering of the affluent section of the society should be checked first.
