“I have a washing machine and I’ll put the bad leaders – if there are any – in it and make them clean,” he quipped.
The PTI chairman was speaking at an election rally in Allahabad.
Commenting on the state of minorities in Pakistan, Imran said under his government’s rule, everyone will be equal.
He then went on to address the female participants and told them that he – as their brother – will fight for their rights.
Imran further said that if his party comes to power, education of each and every child will be his responsibility.

My And My Family Vote For PTI. Inshallah
It seems Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has had a change of heart. No more than four days ago, the political aspirant said that in his ‘new’ Pakistan, military operations would be halted, especially in FATA. However, he made no mention of the troubled province of Balochistan, which has seen its citizens facing the wrath of military operations through the paramilitary Frontier Corps (FC) and mercenary death squads. Just a few days ago, Imran Khan said nothing about making a difference in Balochistan where the security forces routinely exhibit their might through the ‘kill and dump’ policy. There are people in the province who have ‘disappeared’ — to become the now infamous ‘missing persons’ — only to have their bullet riddled bodies found dumped in plain sight whilst others have never returned. He talked about how the military would not be used against ‘our own people’ but does he not consider the Baloch his own?
An interesting comment column of ET .
I hope supporter of pti will read it .
How many noon league social media cell persons have commented here? I get the feeling that even they will be stamping the balla logo on Saturday. Everyone wants accountability but most do not want to be accountable. Think beyond yourself on May 11th and vote for justice.
PTI will win the elections and it would be PML-N supporters that would be crying with pain on the evening of 11th May.
I feel pity for PTI fans as they will be bitterly crying with pain on the evening of 11th May.
Nawaz Sharif is the only Hope…. That’s it !!!
Imran Khan is the only Hope.... That's it !!!
All those who are raising slogans of "TABDEELI", will be raising slogan of "DHANDLI" on May 11.
Whatever is Pakistan facing today, that is because of foreign policy of Pervez Musharraf. And that Foreign Minister is part of PTI. Shame for PTI. What a change!
at least he dare to speak truth.... and thats his promise "qom se kabhi jhoot nahi bolon ga"
Imran like a person which suits him a PrimeMinister of Pakistan
Imran has become the polling agent of PPP. He is fooling his supporters.
IKs Washing Machine....he forgot the detergent and whiteners +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Its now for Pakistani manufacturers to launch IK brand Washing Machines.
Whatever Imran claims but it is TTP who would have the last laugh and do the cleansing of the party who comes to power along with people. They would be joined by their like minded organisations like SS and others in this forthcoming mayhem in Pakistan.
To all anti Imran khan folks - please tell us who you gonna vote and what change they will bring ...PTI lottas are far less than the one we have in pmln and pppp .. Pmln has about 25o plus lottas standing for Na and provincial assembly seats
Well you better start buying washing machines Imran Khan coz Pakistan will definitely run out of them!!!! Loooooool. Oh ur gonna need to import them from all over the world and maybe just have enough for the cleansing process..... but I guess just to be on the safe side open ur gonna need to open up a factory in Pakistan that can make washing machines in vast quantaties, And while ur at it perhaps u can lend some to Fakruddin bhai of the Election Commission!.... oh and then u guys can have a competition to see who's able to cleanse the most PTI leaders, if they are leaders that is.......Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
@sa: Saying a corrupt , thief , patwari , a bad human ... you mean to say is a bad language ??? oh grow up !!
@faisal: "Imran, we know your past. Have you cleaned yourself?" . That act was was definitely below the belt. Don't know whose?
Imran, we know your past. Have you cleaned yourself?
You are the biggest U turn in PTI. First of all, you should be cleaned. You always use abusive and unethical language during speeches like illiterate persons. Please go to school and get admission in Nursery Class.
It means you will will clean yourself from party.
@Abid P. Khan: He was not a bright student at Oxford; got a second class degree in politics and a third class in economics. In cricket he was really good. From Pakistani standards, he is still great.
"a dirty fish will make the whole pound dirty" I.K is not visionary, he talks about such things which are scientifically not possible but if he is super human in his secret life then off course it is possible. summary of the story is they will make washing machine dirty.
@Pakistani Ostrich: "From a presidential candidate to a dhobi in 90 days!!!" . Even at Oxford you learn a few skills.
For a second I thought Bilawal was standing behind Imran in the picture. LOL
In Naya Pakistan, you get yourself a wash, not a bath.
"Hum to doob rahe hai sanam, tumhe bhi lekar doobayge hum" When he puts them in the washing machine, they will also drag him inside. These politicians have been in power for 65 years, either by hook or by crook. Look out IK
PML-N folks upset by the revelations made by Rehman Malik are trying to clinch at straws. Well folks the key word is 'quipped'
I have no doubt this nation is stupid enough not to vote for IK. They will vote for the same ol crooks (PPP and PML-N), then cry about it for the next 5 years while their "leaders" are busy designing more palaces for themselves in france and england.
Imran Khan sb. ap ke pas kon si washing machine ah gayi, plz stop fooling the people
Immature statement from the most immature leader of Pakistan.
@sa: vote for them who talk gently but murder you and your dignity ruthlessly.
all those PML-N media guys bashing IK for telling the truth. atleast he is telling the truth and we all will vote for PTI
ahahahahahhahaha hilarious
It should be appreciated he admits the shortcomings unlike PPP and PMlN continue to defend shamelessly even their corrupt and disastrous leaders. My Vote for PTI. IK is a true leader unlike Nawaz and Zardari please wake up Pakistan!
The poor chap does't realise that it has to be very very large washing machine and currently, it is a technical prowess that is not possible.
At least IK has guts to say this. Did you ever hear anything like this from $harif$? Does it mean N league is an angelic party?
Most of you emotional people would disagree with me but sorry to burst your bubble that there is no such washing machine.
I wonder with Ik bleech washing who will be left ..after elections #IK's new slogan .."Daag to achy hoty hain " hahah lol ....
PTI ar #Khan sb chaa gyyyy :)I think Imran Khan has been misquoted, it should've been I'll cleanse bad PTI leaders in my LOTA's': Imran Khan. One Lota will cleanse another lota. HOW WONDERFULL. SHAME
If he has the abality to make old things new, other can do the same. you can say your things are washable and the other are not. Imran behave like mature leader not like a laymen. all our politication ethic classes.
What kind of statements he is giving these days? Lion Bar-B-Que, Allah SWT on sky and Bat on earth, cleaning of ppl through washing machines!!!! Who is writing his speeches or he is coming up with these statements on his own!!! He was known for his maturity, elegance and strong character! Such statements can make his "already rude supporters" further explosive! Although i will vote for PTI as it is better compared to PML(N), PPP, JI, MQM and ANP, but with every passing day of his election campaign, I am less hopeful about Imran Khan's survival at the top political slot in Pakistan!!!
Does any other party has this stance. The answer is NO. Which means they have the purest and honest people with them which is obviously not true. If IK is at least having a stance we should support him instead of bad mouthing.
What you mean by new pakistan, you can make changes in it but you cann't through it, like daily appliances. You want new pakistan I will be more than happy because KPK will not be a part of new country. We have our own custom and culture, and want to live with them. I hope Balochistan will do the same. in this regards i will support local party if you make new pakistan. Is Imran will change consitution of pakistan. I think no and he is not smart enough to do this. Just for slogan it is ok. In dictionary New mean New in all aspects.
He claims beyond his capacity. In the ticket allotment exercise, despite his claims to allot tickets to clean people he succumbed to the pressure of the party parasites and lost many good candidates. Not much hopes from him even if he becomes prime minister.
@sa: Because yours is so much better? Would you rather have a well spoken patriotic person speak on behalf of your country OR a tried and tested liar?
From a presidential candidate to a dhobi in 90 days!!!
During Intra Party elections, lots of corrupt politicians left PTI. This just shows that PTI has come up with a system that will remove the remaining dirty politicians from it's ranks as well. My vote is for PTI.
@fari: Evey organization/company/department etc. has bad people, when will you Pakistanis understand that a system needs to be implemented which stops corruption, nepotism, and bad decisions, when will you understand that the world laughs at your intelligence when you re-elect a party which has the same leadership and has FAILED FIVE TIMES ALREADY!?!?!
take it easy guys because he said it as a joke because some people were critising on shah mahmood quershi and those people do not know that shah mahmood quershi does not have any corruption charges against him and he also pay taxes.
Your character is known to the world dear
He is just playing around with the emotions of youth, by giving them fake slogans & hopes. How can he clean the likes of Kasuri? Tareen+Swati?? who are known to be selfish. I dunno whats wrong with him Lingo, he use to be decent, Batamize ho gaya hai...i am disppointed
Nobody in election campaign is sincere with Pakistan. candidates only fight for their own benefit, how much mean they are. They are the same people who ruined the infrastructure of Pakistan and responsible for the current situation of Pakistan. Before going to vote them please think for a while,they are such disguised people.
If you know you have bad eggs in you bucket then why not cleaning now ? what are you waiting for ? you are not going to be different Mr Khan
Quite the orator we have here. I hope the history books will remember this one.
Imran does not know these people. They will sell him with their dirty laundry.
I like Imran Khan but I think he is too naive for politics..plus he is too much arrogant to even realize it.
The good looking mullah has already stated that ahmadiyya are not equal in his eyes, he has already caved in to the mullahs demands. There is no Naya Pakistan only mullah Pakistan
If a leader is honest himself,he can bring whatever change he likes.Only Imran is a leader who can talk about cleaning because he is himself clean.while for other currupt leaders it's a joke.
I hope he turns out good for Pakistan. We need a good change, honesty and a better Pakistan..
he has support of Taliban, and fear of Talibans will make them clean
Haters gonna hate but they will soon learn to appreciate; the naya Pakistan :)
Imran Khan, u r our hope of change.............will support u till end.....long live Imran Khan.....long live Pakistan
Why people always misinterpret IK's statements?!
I wonder what would left behind in the PTI after the cleansing of bad PTI leaders?
@fari:
Imran is getting people in his party from Pakistan, not Sweden. Of course, some crap will be present no matter how hard you try--jaisa chappar, waisee muchlee!
My advice to Imran is to use Vim, instead of Surf--it not only cleans but kills all the germs :)
Godspeed Imran, we are all with you!
FARI : Ghour se parho !!!
“I have a washing machine and I’ll put the bad leaders – if there are any – in it and make them clean,” he quipped.
Candidates dont matter much..What matters is his cabinet !. At the same time when bad candidates wont get their personal gains through strong check and balance system they will themselves leave PTI :)
What would you call a man who goes to a party wearing dirty clothes and says he will wash them after the party?
Khan sb. Unfortunately you will be alone in the party after this machine works. Lol
Dressed in Red black and green.
I thought these are PPP colours.
By the way Mr. Khan, Can you elaborate what concrete measures you will take for minority. you have already said you are in favor of Blasphemy law as is.
Among the political lot of today's Pak, I like him the most. At least he does not wear kurti sherwan just to impress.He has the guts to wear a suit and a boot.He is educated .I think he deserves a chance.
Only one reply to this joke.....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Another childish statement from ik. Only the army has such a washing machine.
his way of talking is very bad , no more vote for him
IK we trust you. inshallah we all will witness naya Pakistan under your leadership.
hmm so #IK admitted abt bad blood in #PTI ... at last some truth from khan sab .. its time obsessed #PTI supporters do the same ...instead of falling into the hole along with them :) in Naya Pakistan every PTi support will hv new washing machines lol
