‘Imran Khan wanted to harm country’

Saeed Ghani says PTI chief’s statement on Peshawar bombing alarming

ISLAMABAD:

Sindh Labour and Human Resources Minister, Saeed Ghani, has said the majority people of Pakistan recognize the situation that the way of Imran Khan’s politics leads to the destruction of the country.

Speaking at a press conference here on Thursday, the Sindh Labour Minister said that Imran Khan was an evil politician who wanted to harm the country.

He said that Imran Khan’s statements before and after the recent Peshawar bombing tragedy were highly alarming, showing how his party had taken steps to facilitate the terrorist outfits to regroup in the country.

He said that such certain ill-advised decisions had been taken in the previous regime of PTI without taking the nation, parliament, or National Security Council into confidence.

He said that all the concerned political parties, the army, and other concerned quarters had to be united to take steps and adopt policies to eliminate the terrorists.

The Sindh Labour Minister said that Imran Khan had levelled an utterly false and baseless allegation against former president Asif Ali Zardari that the former president had plotted to kill the PTI Chairman and also had hired services of a terrorist outfit for the purpose.

He recalled that PPP had never talked about revenge despite being a victim of terrorism and whose own activists had been killed by the terrorists. He said that Imran Khan’s false allegations could produce dire consequences in the streets and neighborhoods of the country as the followers of his party could show a violent reaction.

He said that Imran Khan’s political agenda stood for ruining Pakistani society, institutions, and economy. He said the PTI Chairman had been fulfilling the designs of enemies of Pakistan.

Ghani said that with the passage of time, the objectives behind funding to Imran Khan by Israeli and Indian lobbies had been becoming clear. He told media persons the PPP had adopted the due legal recourse against allegations leveled by the PTI Chairman by sending him a legal notice.
