MUZAFFARABAD: Foremr prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan has said that the leaked audio conversation between him and his principal secretary has damaged Shahbaz Sharif’s reputation and not his.
Addressing the public gathering in Muzaffarabad, Imran Khan said that he was grateful to PM Shehbaz for leaking his audio and proving that the cypher was a reality. “I want to thank you, Shahbaz Sharif, you leaked my conversation with the Principal Secretary, and proved that the cypher was true,” Imran said.
He said that over 100,000 people have sacrificed their lives in the struggle for Kashmir’s independence. He said that he would fight for the Kashmir cause until he is alive.
He added that their government ended all ties with India when Narendra Modi’s government ended Kashmir’s special constitutional status. Trade with India would be beneficial but we did not prefer it over our Kashmiri brothers’ struggle, he added.
The PTI Chief said that Sindh is submerged in floods while Bilawal Bhutto is touring America. Shehbaz Sharif begged a female journalist for funds, he added.
Ishaq Dar, who was an absconder for five years, has returned to the country and has been appointed the finance minister, he added. If these powerful people are given NRO, then why are the poor people booked? Imran Khan questioned.
The PTI chief told that the rupee has depreciated 33% since this government took charge. In 2018, Pakistan had its highest current account deficit of over $20 billion.
Addressing the ECP Chief Sultan Sikander Raja, Imran Khan said that if he has any shame, he should resign immediately.
He added that the current government reduced Kashmir’s budget from Rs200 billion to Rs60 billion. He urged the people of Kashmir to come out with their families on his call.
