Govt wasted money over UN report: Imran Khan

April 16, 2010

KARACHI: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan has said that PPP led government wasted US $ 100 million on the UN commission report regarding assassination of Benazir Bhutto saying it has no worth as the people are aware of the facts.

He expressed these views while addressing a press conference. The PTI Chairman said that the corrupt and incapable people are at the helm of affairs and people could not tolerate them for the next three years.

Expressing his reservations on the 18th amendment, He said that the political parties have curbed the independence of the judiciary through this amendment. The corrupt elements do not want an independent judiciary, he said adding an independent judiciary is the only panacea for elimination of the menace of corruption from the country.

He said that the renaming of NWFP would divide the people on ethnic basis.

Blue | 13 years ago | Reply At least he is projecting facts. The fee was paid from Pakistani taxpayers money, which could have been better spent on resolution of power crisis and rehabilitation of industries. This could have made BB's soul rest in enhanced peace as well.

mariam | 14 years ago | Reply Love him or hate him, he is the only leader who talks about me and u. The USD 100mn did not come out from Asif Zardari or PPPs coffers, they were paid by me and u through record high taxes. USD 100mn if spent to pay off the power comapnies could have eased the 18 hour power cuts. And what did we learn from the UN report ? sounds like a cut and paste job....our media had already brought all of these issues infront of us 2 years ago.

m-o-b-y | 14 years ago | Reply I understand Mr. Bhatti's point of view, and find them in close resemblance to my own. Consider the controversy of BB's will which just came out of nowhere in light of the assassination and the words and language used in the will cannot be of BB. The hosing of evidence, and the denial of post mourtem, these are all clues which stand out to even the most simple minded. But it will take years to unfold, and will leave another dark period in the history of Pakistan. This is an international conspiracy with international players, and local benefitors. Who benefited most from this? Weigh the losses of the people who were party to this act aganist the benefits achieved. It was more like a "strict & ruthless business decision". For the comman man in Pakistan things are only gonna get worse under current country leadership. Intellectuals and Anchors of TV shows who have been pondering and fighting for their own rights, along with the rights of citizens. But they are aware that if things go the way they have been going for the past 2 years, its more like waiting for a diasater to happen internal and external. If the people of Pakistan be honest and empower Mr Khan should be given a chance, On the same note, I'd like to add that Imran Khan has a proven track record of honesty, simplicity, being straight forward, leadership, motivating others, achieving his goals and administrative abilities.

Shahid Ikram | 14 years ago | Reply Well it is a fact $100 million to find out that "there was a security lapse" brilliant He does talk sense there is no doubt about it Wish he gets elected to change Pakistan for the better - the rest of the political parties are in this fray to make money for their own gains - sad

M.Shahjahan Bhatti | 14 years ago | Reply *Salute to those who wrote such a thorough report on the murder of Benazir Bhutto. Even a layman can deduce who issued orders to murder her after reading this report. Taj Nadeem was the man who met Benazir on the morning of 27th December 2007 and asked her to keep away from Liaqat bagh that day. Anybody who knows the kind of relations between Musharraf, Taj Nadeem DG I S I and Ijaz Nadeem DG M I can use simple math to reach a conclusion. I fully agree with the writers of this report that if the culprits of this cruel murder are punished, such crime will never be repeated in this unfortnate country where after committing a crime the culprits walk away like gentlemen. *
