'I would be ashamed to live in the PM House,' says Imran Khan

E-Paper | June 14, 2026

During his speech, Imran Khan laid emphasis on breaking Pakistan free of the perpetual rich-getting-richer and poor-getting-poorer cycle, announcing that change has to come from the top.

"Our government will decide what we will do with PM House. I would be ashamed to live in such a large house. That house will be converted into an educational institution or something of the sort," he said.

"I will live humbly," he promised. "So far we have seen that everyone who comes to power changes. That will not happen with me."

What about the CM and Governor house? Imran Khan had said before the 2013 elections that both houses would be converted into university and library. What happened there? 5 years later they make the same claim for PM house. PTI claims are nothing but false.
