No politician other than me has spoken against Malik Raiz: Imran
Addressing a large rally in Hyderabad, Imran said that Riaz has bribed many politicians but he must know he can never bribe me.
“Raiz knows that every leader has a price and he can buy them but not me; he cannot buy me nor my party,” he said.
Repeating his old promise of creating a new Pakistan once voted into power, Imran said he will bring the current corrupt setup to an end.
He said that when people are murdered in Karachi, all the leaders get together and broker a deal favourable to them but fail to deliver justice to the victims.
The PTI chief told the rally participants to question their leaders who hid their wealth abroad rather than investing it in Pakistan.
“Politicians who have saved assets in foreign countries are a part of the current evil system,” Imran said.
The PTI chief added that his party will not give a ministry to anyone who owns property or other assets abroad.
Criticising the government’s inability to tax everyone equally, Imran said that only the poor people paid taxes in Pakistan, while rich were spared.

The time has come when the ultimate sovereign – the people of Pakistan – must assert itself. At long last we have a chance to throw off the rubber-stamp parliament and a thoroughly corrupt and discredited rulers.
@Imran Arif: Haha it's funny, that is the first thing I noticed. ET twisted Imran's words and put in place an equally misguiding headline.
@Ch Allah Daad: Yes, Riaz is a wise man and he invested in AASHYANA scheme, (8.5 M). Now he will receive ROI (return on investment) from the Punjab government.
@neltajohn How can i say this? He has no corruption case registered against his name in any city of Pakistan. He pays taxes, declared his assets & wealth. Has only Pakistani passport & all his wealth is in Pakistan. What else proof do you want??
@Asad Shah: Party Policy is driven by Party chief. Junior leaders cannot represent the party stance as the chairman of the party does and so far, all the party chiefs of the major political parties like Altaf hussain, Nawaz sharif, aswandyar, Maulana fazal, zardari :D are silent on Malik riaz..
@Blithe: what about Nawaz sharif???.. ;)
Imran stands for truth and people of Pakistan. For others politics is business. Nawaz issued many SROs to bring scrap metal with exempt tax. Zardari and Nawaz are by-product of NRO. Supporting them is like siding with corruption and partnering in crimes. Oh Allah, guide us.
Nawaz Sharif never spoke against malik Riaz. Thats true.
@Ch Allah Dad: You are right thats why why he threw bucks to nawaz,shahbaz and Hamza and they proudly accept it.
@Abid: Who notice PML-N samll rally with passive crowd. I dont know wht PML-N rallies are so passive, no enthusiasm
“Raiz knows that every leader has a price and he can buy them but not me; he cannot buy me nor my party,” he (imran khan) said.
This is because Malik Riaz is an excellent businessman..he will not waste one single rupee after a worthless investment like imran khan.
@Ch Allah Daad: So he has bribed Mian Sahib and the PML-N leadership cuz they have had their turns in the past and are currently ruling in Punjab. WOW Ch. Sahib........
As another round of Noora Kushti between PMLN and PPP ends with the election of a new PM, we need a change more than we ever needed before. Khan and Pakistani youth are the hope.
Right now i am in interrior sindh right now Mr.Khan, i beong from other province and region but I am Pakistani first. People sindh really anxiously needs change. Over all zero development in all sectors specaily in education sector, health and roads and rehabilitation of affectees of flood 2010, 11. 70 % of the pupulation have no right to take breat breath with our permisiion of fuedal and lanelords. These people really needs you please make some specailly policies on emergency basis for the innocent people of interior sindh.There is no any success story of PPP govt in these areas.
Is that an invitation? why should he bribe you khan sahib - what political or other value do you command? nil, zilch, natta...
love you IK.............Long live PTI.....Allah bless you success..
That's because IK does not need to make under-handed deals. PTI has a very reasonable financing structure (backed by sound ideology) that keeps it from engaging in such gimmicks.
@Saim Baig: How do you know that he is honest and how do you prove this.
@Blithe: My friend, what he meant was that no 'Political Leader' has spoken against Riaz! He has said that in a recent talk show as well, we like coming to conclusions dont we? hah!! Has NS been vocal about him or any other leaders on paper? well, nopes! So yes IK is saying the truth!
I dont know why Media (not ET) doesnt cover PTI activities like they did before, ET has been continuously supporting the truth and only true leaders of the country, we are with you Khan, no matter how much hurdles do come in your way, unless the power of righteous is within you...
ASad Shad and Blithe he meant the party Head when NS and AZ spoke against MR ?
and PML N did a rally in Sehwan as well.... did anyone notice....
It's true that not every taxable income is tax and border line people have to pay every penny. Even Imran khan paid little or no tax at all for many years.If what he says he believes in then he should show to people what taxes he paid over the past many years.People have yet to test your honesty.Similar claims are made by other political leaders.Who should be believed keeping in mind past experience.
Liar Liar! So many politicians from PML-N have spoken against him. Deceiving such a huge gathering I mean wow
Imran khan the only hope in these current disparated and corrupt era of Pakistan under the supervision of PPP and PMLN
go ahead we are with u khan .
Why would he bribe you Sir? You are not in the government nor have any chance to be in the government in the near future. He is not that stupid. He throws the buck where it matters.
@ustaad: HAmid Khan is one of the best lawyer in the country and it is his profession to take up the cases of the accused, so It WAS a professional act of Hamid khan that he agreed to defend bahria town cases and has nothing to do with the PTI or Chairman Khan!!!!
@geeko hahaha what u saying is hilarious.....
@ustaad: If sawat has any foreign Assets, then he will not be given any ministry as well, but I think that it is OK to give him the party ticket.... :)
Today PTI has conquered Hyderabad as well... Congratulations!
Ask Imran Khan who financed his unsuccessful rallies in Lahore, Bhakkar or Quetta... if not Malik Riaz, the establishment... and If not the establishment, Mossad/RAW/CIA anyway.
@ustaad pls get ur facts correct hamid khan WAS riaz's lawyer..
unlike pmln and ppp who took riaz's services in power
@ustaad: Go ahead then, vote for PPP and live like this for the rest of your life.
Thats true nobody will speak against him although he also tried to undermine the authority of honourable supreme court. In the end we can only hope that in the general elections pti takes the lion share. This will serve as a harbinger of change.
Keep it up and best of luck.
We hope that the people of Pakistan may prove wise enough to elect this honest Gentleman.
