MUZAFFARGARH: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has described former chief minister Shahbaz Sharif as a ‘good actor’ and advised him to start acting in dramas.
Addressing a public meeting at a sports ground here on Friday, Khan said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) was eying next five years in power to do more corruption.
Khan said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif recruited 25,000 people to the police department in 1992 without merit and most of them were criminals. He said he would purge the police and revenue departments of corrupt and inefficient people after his party is voted to power.
The PTI chief said his party would introduce the local bodies system after coming into power. He said people should support the PTI in the general election for dynamic changes in the country. He criticised the Metro Bus System, which cost the national exchequer billions of rupees, and described it as a waste of public money. He said the money spent on the bus service should have been spent on power projects to eliminate loadshedding. He promised better health and education system and again invited PML-N chief Nawaz Sharif to a TV debate with him. Khan said he would solve farmers’ problems on priority. He reiterated that no MPA or MNA would be given funds for development projects and only local authorities would have access to funds allocated for people’s welfare.
Nawabzada Mansoor Ahmed Khan, Mian Sajid Naeem Qureshi, Sardar Abdul Haya Khan Dasti and Syed Jamil Shah Bukhari were also present.
Addressing a public meeting in Kabirwala on Friday, Khan said people should not cast their vote to any independent candidate because they would be up for sale after their election. He
said the PML-N was PTI’s only rival after President Asif Ali Zardari carried out suicide attacks on the foundations of the Pakistan People’s Party.
He said he set-up a stadium in every union council and urged the youth to convince their parents to vote for PTI candidates.
Earlier, he addressed a public meeting in Jalalpur Pirwala.
