PESHAWAR
\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Friday said that the \u2018imported government\u2019 built rhetoric of inflation against his government but dropped price-hike bombs on the people only in two months.
\nHe said that India and Israel wanted to see the disintegration of Pakistan while lamenting that the US also does not want to see a stable Pakistan. He was addressing a public rally in the Buner district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).
\nHe claimed that the Sharif family has deep relations with Indian Prime Minister Modi and Indian businessmen, adding that being the prime minister, Nawaz Sharif did not meet Hurriyat leaders of Kashmir because it would have displeased his Indian counterpart.
\nImran Khan said that Asif Ali Zardari is the \u2018biggest disease\u2019 of the country whose sickness is \u2018money\u2019. PTI chairman said that he showed the alleged threatening letter to the National Assembly (NA) and President Dr Arif Alvi also asked the Supreme Court to probe into the alleged conspiracy but no heed was paid.
\nHe added that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) built up the rhetoric of \u2018inflation\u2019 against the PTI government while he compared the prices of daily use commodities such as cooking oil, flour, vegetables, etc during the tenure of the PTI government and the \u2018imported government\u2019 in two months only.
\nHe also compared the fuel and electricity prices between the two tenures. PTI chairman said they were also pressurized by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to raise prices but they did not succumb to it unlike the incumbent government whose leaders are living abroad and they have no stake in the country.
\nHe reiterated that the Sharifs and Zardari did not speak up against the drone attacks in Pakistan, adding that they could not dare to speak against the foreign powers because their wealth is parked abroad.
\nSpeaking on what was the cost of toppling his government through a US-backed conspiracy, he said Pakistan\u2019s GDP growth peaked to nearly 6% while industrialization witnessed acceleration after Ayub Khan\u2019s era.
\nImran Khan said the foreign reserves have depleted sharply only during the two months of the \u2018imported government\u2019 while the stock market has crashed nearly 10% meaning that Rs700 billion have been taken out from the market.
\nHe said the international credit rating agency Moody\u2019s also reduced the rating to negative from positive. Imran Khan said he had informed the \u2018neutrals\u2019 through his finance minister Shaukat Tarin that the ouster of his government through a conspiracy would result in economic collapse of the country, reiterating the example of Soviet Union.
\nSpeaking on the reports that the government is filing a treason case against him, the former prime minister asked if the people like Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari, who held a tainted track record of speaking against the institutions, would run a treason case against him. He said that the conspiracy of the treason case is an attempt to \u2018remove him from the path\u2019.
\nPTI chairman said the only aim of the \u2018imported government\u2019 is to get rid of their corruption cases. He also criticized the presence of Shehbaz Sharif\u2019s absconder son in the meeting with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdo?an, adding that the government is not only causing damage to the economy but morals.
\nThe former prime once again criticized Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) of being a partisan of the incumbent government and said rigging has been initiated through gerrymandering because the coalition parties cannot win in the elections on their own.
\nHe said the government has also started to intimidate people through the police and framing fake cases.
\nHe added that the violence the imported government resorted to against the \u2018peaceful protesters\u2019 was unprecedented and vowed to fight against the \u2018oppressors\u2019 of this era till the last drop of his blood.
\nPTI chairman said they would wait for the final verdict of the Supreme Court on the petition seeking protection of the long marchers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
