Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday said his party would protest against hike in petroleum prices.
Addressing a press conference, Imran said the people of Pakistan were unnecessarily being burdened. He further said the government needed to check prices instead of increasing the people’s miseries. “The poorer the people become, the richer the rulers get,” he added. He said his party would launch demonstrations in all the provinces.
Imran claimed Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf would arrest Benazir’s killers on coming to power. The PTI chief said the rulers had issued red warrants for Pervez Musharraf but no one would issue red warrants for the corrupt rulers. He said the UN inquiry pointed out that facts about Banazir’s assassination were concealed.
Imran said he and his party fully condemned the Kohistan attack in which a number of passengers of buses were killed. He also condemned sectarian killings in Parachinar. “It is the government’s responsibility to ensure law and order,” he added.
He opined that appointment of judges through parliamentarians under the 18th Amendment was a way to hide corruption. Imran said anybody could join the PTI. “We don’t need anyone’s permission to allow people to join us,” he added.
The PTI chief said some people were spreading rumours that Imran’s tsunami has stalled. He said it was the corrupt people who were scared of tsunami.
Imran said perhaps the by-elections had been held as per the old electoral lists and announced to move the Supreme Court on the issue. Earlier, PPP leader Israr Shah who had lost his legs in the blast when travelling with Benazir’s rally announced joining the PTI. He said he was joining the PTI to compelete the unfinished agenda of Benazir Bhutto.
