If Ijaz barred from testifying, it will prove his claims’ veracity: Imran

PTI chief defends welcoming veteran politicians to his party; says political parties cannot be ‘exclusive’.


Web Desk January 23, 2012

LAHORE: While rumours abound over Memogate protagonist Mansoor Ijaz’s testimony before the Supreme Court, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan has said that if Ijaz is disallowed from testifying, it will be evidence enough that his allegations are true.

Ijaz, who had claimed that no one can stop him from coming to Pakistan, eventually backtracked and decided not to come and appear before the SC. There are reports that Ijaz will now testify via teleconference from Dubai.

Imran, who was speaking on Monday at his residence in the upscale Zaman Park residential area of Lahore, also responded emphatically to a question on why he is welcoming almost everyone who wishes to join his party.

“This is a political party, not a club or non-governmental organisation where you can close doors and be exclusive,” Imran said. “You can’t ask people to present certificates of eligibility. Ask us this question when we start handing out party tickets for the general elections.”

What is common between Mansoor Ijaz and Imran Khan? ----------- Both are extremely overwhelmed by their agenda to self-promotion! What else is common between these two?--------they both are possessed by their-own-stupid-selves! Anything else that is common between them two, Imran Khan and Mansoor Ijaz? ----- They are both unstable and erratic in their behaviour---not trust worthy!
