LAHORE: PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday said he no longer \u201cblamed\u201d the US administration for his removal from power.<\/p>\n
The remarks came as a surprise because ever since his removal from office through a vote of no confidence, the PTI leader has continuously campaigned on the slogan that a foreign conspiracy led to his ouster, and that the US administration was behind it.<\/p>\n
Separately, the former prime minister claimed that PML-N supreme leader Nawaz Sharif was pushing the country towards disaster by \u201cnot allowing\u201d Prime Minis\u00adter Shehbaz Sharif to hold transparent elections in the country.<\/p>\n
Addressing multiple gatherings of party supporters via video link from his residence in Lahore, Mr Khan trained his guns at the elder Sharif and said the latter was not going to the polls because he was afraid of defeat at the hands of PTI.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is a matter of grave concern for the whole Pakistani nation that a person convicted by the Supreme Court is poised to take decisions about the future of Pakistan that includes the appointment of a new army chief,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThose installed through the \u2018regime change conspiracy\u2019 are running away from holding elections, knowing that they will lose [elections] against me and will not be able to save their corruption and looted money,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n
According to Mr Khan, the \u2018regime change experiment\u2019 had failed but the \u201chandlers and facilitators\u201d were still not accepting their mistake. He alleged that the incumbent rulers never \u201cappointed any top official on merit to ensure that their looted money should be given protection at all costs\u201d.<\/p>\n
Claiming that his ouster had sent the \u2018booming\u2019 economy into a tailspin, the PTI chairman said the Sharifs had \u201cno remorse because they are busy getting themselves acquitted through tailor-made legislation\u201d. He also chided the PDM government for accusing him of isolating Pakistan at the international level and asserted that the government should explain to the nation what it did in this direction during the past seven months.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
