Govt paid Intelligence Bureau Rs2.7 billion to sabotage sit-ins: Imran

Addressing a PTI rally in Jhelum, Imran said PM took the step when their sit-ins started in August

JHELUM:
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan alleged  on Sunday that the government had paid the Intelligence Bureau Rs2.7 billion to sabotage their protest sit-in in the capital.

Addressing a PTI rally in Jhelum, Imran said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif took the step just when their sit-ins started in August.

The PTI chairman urged the people of Pakistan to work hard for a new Pakistan and stand up and fight for the basic rights of every citizen.

“I’m inviting everybody to Islamabad on November 30. One side will be the status quo, which consists of people who have become rich after coming into power and on the other side, there will be us, the people of Pakistan,” said Imran.

“These powerful rulers won’t bring change in the country and are preparing their children to rule over your children,” he added.


The PTI chief also announced to visit Larkana on Friday. “We will stand with middle class and professional class of Sindh as well as farmers and will break the chain of fear in the people of Sindh,” he said.

Imran went on to say that tax money should be spent on people instead of underpasses, governor houses, and on Prime Minister Nawaz’s foreign trips.

He claimed that the government spends Rs300 million monthly on the ad campaigns.

Imran also alleged that the premier handed over a Rs500 million project to Hanif Abbassi, whom he said is a known drug smuggler. “Abbassi is sitting over a Rs500 million project; he should be in jail,” said Imran.

He vowed to put criminals behinds bars and to reform the current law and order situation.

Earlier in the day, PTI's convoy was attacked in which at least eight PTI workers were injured.
