DERA ISMAIL KHAN:
PTI will deliver a New Pakistan, said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan during his speech in Penyallah DI Khan on Sunday.

He was campaigning in support of his candidate, Engineer Dawar Kundi on NA-25 DI Khan cum Tank. Engineer Dawar Kundi is in a tough race against Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) candidate and son of Maulana Fazlur Rehman, Asad Mehmood, for the September 18 by-polls.

Imran Khan said that PTI will relieve the people from corruption, injustice and cruelties, adding that PTI is changing the system and will end the thanna, kutchery and patwari political system.

Imran Khan said that the public should observe what politicians possessed before coming into power, and what they have now and through what means they end up accumulating immense wealth. Initially they were on cycles, but now they are roaming in Land Cruisers worth millions.

PTI chairman also said that the people should know whether the diesel permit as brought for the relief of the public or for personal interest (referring to Fazlur Rehman), adding that the public is becoming poor while politicians are becoming rich.


Imran said that we are fighting a war for the cuture of the young generation and the youth has to support us for the progress and development of our country, adding that we are not doing politics in the name of Islam, but Islam has to come and get rid of fake Maulvis.

Imran observed that the time has come to grant freedom to the nation and PTI has been advocating for the last nine years not to indulge in the American war and today everyone is looking for an exit. Khan also said that 2.5 months have passed since our government is in power in Khyber- Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) but Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) acquired the premier’s post for the third time.

After six months, the people will witness difference in K-P and examples will be established for every other province to follow.

He said that no minister will be pardoned if found guilty of any misdeeds, adding that PTI is reintroducing the accountability system from top to bottom and will initiate appropriate policies for our government system and will teach them how to respect humanity.
