Imran lashed out at the current setup during a press conference at PTI’s Central Secretariat in Islamabad.
While accusing the government of corruption and non-performance, Imran said PML-N’s friendly opposition has aided the rulers in their “nefarious designs.”
“Underhand deals are being made to get the 20th Amendment through,” he further alleged.
The PTI Chairman also said the government was trying to negotiate another IMF loan to pay the earlier loans, saying it would hold the future generation hostage to the debts incurred by corrupt and wasteful government.
“The political future is compromised because of politicians’ self-interest and fatal alliances with external powers,” he added.

Alone Imran Khan can do nothing see the king kongs around him. and the freinds opposing him -- the civil society has to be careful and we are not asking any favour --the right as ordained for any normal person be given and not snatched as being done on daily basis??
Ik is right
at present pak., looks like a passeger plane with drunken pilots. no wonder people expect IK to parachute into & save their lives. this may not please the crooks who are well entrenched & defeated every effort to reform,re-distribute wealth that truly belongs to the nation.ultimately it will boil to grass-root mobilisation on polling day and a neutral army.a stable pakistan is after a prayer of all peace-loving people across the world.
IK fans ! pl give your all to bring a new pakistan. best of luck!
We fully support you Imran Khan...whatever you say each and every word has its meaning and if we Pakistanis still don't get rid of current political mafia, our future generation will never forgive us....
As siad in one Urdu song, Lay jaingay Dulhania Dil Walay------------. PTI Chief, his supporters will keep on waiting/watching and at the end of the day PP, PML (N) and JUI (F) duly supported by PML (Q) and MQM again will be at the helm of affairs. Boss needs foreign and security policies to be kept with him to which all these have agreed. So status quo is likely to prevail. Though PTI Chief has also agreed to consider foreign and security policy as untouchables but what one can do against eleven. So supporters of TI please take it easy and better go and sleep.
@ All
Khan shb no wonder people call your party right as Pakistan Tehreek e Ilzamat. Get a life and start issue based politics. You put allegations like women in your press conferences. Sometime i feel its the desperation of not sitting in the assemblies and not given that much importance when negotations happens between govt and opposition over next elections. I hope you would have seen Najam Sethi program last night and understood who is saving Nizam and Islam!
@Muddassir:
Point well taken muddassir, we in India only hope that there is peace within Pakistan and there are more people like you to marginalize these evil elements who preach only hatred and death. The world is a beautiful place to live in.

We may be underestimating Imran Khan. His similarities with Jinnah Saheb are uncanny.
Like Jinnah Saheb, he is a successful, westernized liberal who simultaneously possess full faith and trust in Islam. Like Jinnah Saheb, he opposes both extreme liberals who align themselves with the enemy and extreme conservatives who promote theocracy. Like Jinnah Saheb, he is the hope of and his hero to people of all kinds of interests, backgrounds, social goals and opinions. He has, like Jinnah Saheb, conquered the West (including success with westernized women of wealth and beauty) in his day, climbed the pinnacle of his profession, and in wise, more mature years, taken up the flag for Muslims. Like Jinnah Saheb, he can not be accused of corruption.
Imran Khan is Pakistan's second tryst with the light of Jinnah and the hope that he brought to the young and old of India.
Imran Khan how have you excluded Altaf Hussain from the gang of the Unholy.Not very long ago you said that Altaf Hussain had committed 300 murders and now he is a sacrosanct and holy politician.Your silence aboiut MQM is very mysterious.You have either been initimidated or ...
Here they go again-------Imran Khan and his band of sycophants!
@Imran He needs to repeat because unlike you, not everyone in this country is aware of the current situation of the country. You might not know this but most of the people in this country are not blessed with "THE INTERNET"
LAPTOP FROM SHABAZ SHARIF BUT VOTE FOR IMRAN KHAN!
@Imran:
Stop whining? Imran Khan is standing up for the rights of the pople of Pakistan, the people that unfortunatly do not have a voice ! So therefore, I conclude that YOU stop whining !!!
@Muhammad Usman In which world do you live? JUI-F is never out of government like our establishment.Fazl-ur Rehman is a close aide of Zardari and now-a-days he is on the mission of removing mistrust between Zardari and Nawaz.Also, JUI-F has once again started crying the slogan of 'Yahoodi Lobby' whereas he himself begged the USA to make him prime minister according to wikileaks.
@Falcon: The way you name yourself says all about you
Well said Imran khan, for me Imran khan is the next Muhammad Ali Jinnah for Pakistan.
Very sadly this great leader born in Pakistan, if he had born in any other country on the planet he would have been president of that country withing few years.
He said every single thing 100% correct about Zaradri and Nawaz and Maulana Diesel.
Zaradri, Nawaz sharif, Maulana Fazlur Rehman(Diesel) and Asfandyar Wali Khan are bakaooo mall(sell-able) and corrupt mafia in Pakistan, I hope people of Pakistan do the same thing with them that people of Labia did with Qaddafi.
i do agree with IK to some extent. but i believe that all parties including PTI are the same. yes..............i bet IK will not be able to deliver anything..............he is just creating hype and encashing on a success of his team as his personal success(world cup)............and effort of whole nation and a good team (cancer hospital). But IK u called Sharif brothers as dengue brothers..............did u successfully eradicate cancer by building a cancer hospital. Dengue was a natural phenomena and thankfully had a relatively minor effect when compared with other countries in the region. Can disagree with governance standards of SS but if he wouldnt have been the CM the casualties level would have been much higher. IK we havent forgot that it was u who resisted the decision of punjab govt for cheap dengue test...........u even announced to go to courts against it.
the team which u have gathered is not better in anyways than PPP and PMLN or JUI. ironically enough u now have people from JUI too. you champion natinal reconciliation in karachi........NRO??????.......so that u wont have to discuss ur stance on MQM and on coming to punjab u start smearing again...........strange isnt it. u r ready to aliance with MQM even. some of the biggest land and sugar barrons are now part of your team Mr. Khan you better watch ur words and ur too much self advocated cleanliness and good governance. lastly i really feel pity for those who r so blindly following IK. i know some of them are totally innocent and true to their hearts. they have the right to do that............but dont do that blindly otherwise it wouldnt be any different from PPP jialas, PMLN matwalas or MQM. we should all try to make our leaders more accountable to us.
not a single word against MQM. JUI F is not part of government. imran who are you trying to fool.
@Saleem: Whether you have a point or not is a different issue altogether, but your choice of words is certainly distasteful. Yes, we are 'pathetic' because we are the sheep that are fed up of being ruled by politically savvy but morally bankrupt wolves!
PTI vs allied forces, next election war.
@colonel Then, please provide us some 'clear-cut' and 'mature political guidelines' so that we can give those precious pieces of advice to Imran Khan.Who knows! may be he can act upon your intellectual insight.I am waiting for your response.Your response will also prove that you do not criticise Imran Khan just for the sake of criticism.Come on friend!
@The Man with no Name: I agree with u PML N leadership is the most corrupt and incompetent, when did i said shareef brother's can solve the problems of Pakistan, I never criticized PTI's manifesto i criticize they way he plays politics, he is confused and immature politician .u got my point??

@Imran @Colonel:
Hey there I have got a few questions for you both, answer them so that I can decide who should I vote for? prodemocrats or PTI and also so that my vote counts?
*What change has Punjab Govt has brought other than bringing deadly medicines and dengue mosquitos? *Why did Nawaz Sharif and Maulana contested the elections in 2008 when PTI boycotted those because they were held under NRO and a dictator? *What were they doing when parliament was voting for Zardari as President of the country? *Why did they ally with Asif Zardari during all these years time and again? Was he a hope for them? *Why are they still in the parliament when they no longer have confidence in the government? *What have they done for the people of Balochistan? *There have been many opportunities in these last few years to form a strong alliance in oppostion,why has PML-N not done that? *Where were these people when PTI was holding a rally to oppose Zardari as president at Abpara chowk on 5th September 2008 (a day before Presidential election)? *Has PML-N spoken something new about the government? *How can they solve the geniune problems of the public if they are given a chance (like price control, load shedding, taxes payment) ? *And please do answer this too....What is the agenda of these parties when u guys talk about the agenda of PTI?
I will be waiting for ur response.............
@Gultasib Khan Bro, do not call Noon league as opposition any more ! They have been ruling Punjab for the last 4 years and Punjab is 60% of Pakistan.After the 18th amendment which was passed 3 years ago, the provinces have got greater autonomoy but Noon is still blaming the federal govt for whatever wrong happens in Punjab, be it Dengue killings, be it PIC medicines killings, be it fake intermediate results, be it bad law-n-order in the province, be it thana,ketchehry or patwari culture of Punjab.The so-called Khadim-e-Ala has more than 18 ministeries with himself which is also cause of bad governance .Punjab govt has only 8 ministers whereas federal govt had more than 60 ministers and advisors.My question to Punjab govt: Isn't there any figure bewteen 8 and 60? Can't they have 20 ministers so that a balance could be established between efficiency and expenses?
oh ok Mr Khan...alliance with Jamat e Islam and other parties of Difa e Pakistan conference will definitely bring the real change...All minorities will be killed in Pakistan!! a big big change :D
IK is the only leader who can take us out of the mess…
Sacrifice Mr Nawaz Sharif is required to prove Imran Khan is incorrect, no worries if your party members elected by virtue of the bogus electoral list is sent home with others?? Want to get better votes and be on a even platform. You are well aware you missed the bus and could not stop, but watch the money in friendly opposition parties pockets?? Where you waiting for your turn at the cost of 8500 Billion?? Do not forget the Almighty???
@Saleem. I feel sorry for you, man. Imran
`s supporters are not blind. He is the only one out there who has a true love for Pakistan and who has a pure vision to try to improve the long term outlook. Everyone else is in it for their own greed or gain. No one else has the passion that Imran shows and no one has the will to put Pakistan back on track. I feel sad for anyone who is impressed with the likes of Zardari and Sharif..they are pathetic to put it mildly. So if you dont support IK, who do you support?@Saleem: OMG very heart-touching sentiments you expressed concering our "blindness" in following IK. Still, beleive me, I feel more confident in following him blindly than someone who has a PROVEN RECORD of CORRUPTION, TREASON, BETRAYAL for the last 3 decades!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Again, you and all other anti PTI/IK did not present any alternative. ...:) We all know there is none except him..:)
Imran Khans SC petition says it all, where are the opposition TRIOKA sleeping?? Sad they want interim set up, but they do not want to ask a refund of 8500 billion forthwith?? They want an early election. but they do not want the false degree members out?? time will prove. as it is opposition has already failed. it is not necessary only to be a ruling elite to stop corruption?? Opposition can play a better HONEST role in stopping corruption. Saving 8500 billion was the better bliss and honour and would have brighened the oppositiom chances of a sweeping victory.Not doing wrong but letting wrong being done are they not afraid of the supreme creator and the accountability which is the basis of our existence??
Imran Khan is very right in exposing this unholy trioka in which JUI-F is playing the role of bridging the little gap that has been created between PPP and Noon League over the last few months.PTI's policy guidelines were always there and that was the creation of an islamic welfare state where health, education, security and employment were the responsibility of the incumbent government.For the concrete policies, just wait for Feb 26 when PTI will present its first detailed policy - the energy policy.Meanwhile, it is Imran Khan's duty to expose the bad governance and corruption of both the federal and Punjab governments.
Imran Khan is growing into a great leader like Jinnah Saheb.
Not a handful few BUT All in opposition not opposing the wrong acts and not asking 8500 billion are to be blamed why do they warm the seats, if they cannot stop the pilferage. and what corrective steps they intend taking, The litmus test would be to revalidtae the wrongly elected members whom SC has debarred??
Ok. Lets assume this is an unholy troika. How about JI and MQM? Are these holy parties because Imran Khan may make an alliance with them? I would appreciate a response from PTI supporters.
@Colonel: He is the most consistent politician in Pakistan.
"PTI vs Allies" in next election war. InshaAllah this time allies will be defeated.
I do come to visit the news related to Imran Khan to see how his 'blind' supporters defends their Kaptaan and it is pathetic. I feel so sorry for Kaptan supporters/sympathizers.
not an imran fan, but this is def true. yet ironically, imran in the past has supported all three of these same parties!
Hello g, Kia faida iss report ka? This is same what the geo news showed clip of, why didnt you bother to take response from on ground and expand the report...and for IK yeah, you the man! We are with you in every step you take, not going to let you down till we see you as Prime Minister of Pakistan. insha allah soon.
@Imran Can you please tell me the agenda of PPP and PMLN ? IF you know what an agenda is and wht it looks like? You can't do anything yourself, you are hopeless, yourself don't have the will to do anything and you keep mocking at someone who is trying his best to do his part to save the nation. All I know is I do not want the old corrupt hags to rule the country again. Imran Khan had millions of dollars and did not do any corruption when he was building the hospital and university. It's corruption, not extremism, that is the biggest problem of this country
bahaha...These people amuse me everytime I read their "Imran please put forward your agenda" They want a PTI worker to come to their bedroom and put a USB drive with a powerpoint presentation of the PTI agenda under their pillow. Grow up yaar. Agenda fairy doesn exist. Read newspapers, listen to PTI's interviews, watch talk shows and then infer who is carrying what agenda. Stop making it sound like your head is just a hat rack.
@ Imran: well, if IK's words are so boring or repetitious, simple solution: do not listen to him, do not read his news, do not watch his program. He does not own any news channels/newspaper/anchors/reporters etc.. BUT the reality is that regardless of your hatred towards him, deep inside you know that he/PTI is the only solution that could take us out of this mess. And that is evident by your obsession of reading/listening/following him and then even commenting on it. Obviously, you have a lot of expectations from him. iA he wont let us down!!!!!!
We are always with you IK
Imran Khan is very right about the "UnHoly Troika". Indeed PPP, JUI & PML-N are the main players behind Pakistan's Worsening situation over the past four Years. The elements of the Troika played their due (unholy) roles very well. While the PPP plundered the Nation; both PML-N and JUI engaged us in NON-ISSUES so as to divert attention from the REAL ISSUES of the Nation. Thus they acted like a PRESSURE-VALVE for the Nation's anger. In reward, PML-N got a "Smooth Sailing" in 57% of Pakistan (i.e. Punjab) while JUI got duly rewarded in the form of perky Ministries like HOUSING etc (not to mention Personal benefits for the leaders). Alas! And as the Election Year sets off, all PLAYERS of the Troika would make us believe that each one of them is "Savior of the Nation" (from Taliban or Establishment or Jewish Lobby).
@Imran, Come on man why shouldn't he, at least he is giving awareness to people. This Un Holy alliance of Three is the damaging factor in our politics. Haven't you read the latest report in which how many Billions of rupees are lost, what progress have you seen in past few years. Lets be realistic and be aware. We as nation should step up our efforts to root out such corruption. Give this PTI a chance to govern.!!!!!
well said khan sab... should unveil all this political mafia..
Anyone who diagree with IK statements, pls enlighten us how these three parties (collectively or individually) can take the country out of this mess. As a matter of fact I would include other ruling parties as well.
At the end of day... it will be PTI vs all others (currently ruling). It will be PTI vs. parties of status quo. Just wait and see how they will change their stances against each other just to succumb to power. IK had predicted this a long time ago.
Oh Imran Khan! Can you please stop whining now? It's not amusing anyone anymore. Please put forward your agenda, in concrete words, instead of blindly blaming your political opponents all the time. Right now the repetition of your words sounds more like a broken record or a stuck up tape.
