LAHORE: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Friday severally criticised the top two political parties, PPP and PML-N, of the country over hereditary politics, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to a large public gathering in Sialkot, he said the ‘Tsunami’ has reached Sialkot and “it will march towards Islamabad now.”

The PTI chief said that both President Asif Ali Zardari and PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif are the passengers of “Samjhota Express” of corruption and personal gains and they are running this train of their political gains successfully to protect each other.

“I competed against players all my life…..but now the opponents are ‘political alligators’,” he added.

Khan said the PTI will be a party where anyone can become the leader. The PTI chief further criticised Sharifs, saying the Raiwand natives could not “buy youth by giving away free laptops to them.”

Khan expressed grave concern over the worst law and order, rampant corruption and sky rocketing price hike, urging the rulers to stop deceiving the masses by making tall claims and false slogans.

The former Cricket legend emphasised that he knows the art of competing against all type of oppositions and vowed to take all wickets on one ball.

Party president Javed Hashmi, vice president Shah Mehmood Qureshi and local leaders were also present on the occasion.
