\n LAHORE
\nFormer prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan said on Tuesday while urging Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) to deliver justice said that the lack of justice in Pakistan is the cause of the country\u2019s destruction and the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) is also an ally of the ruling PML-N, while it is being controlled by handlers.
\nAddressing long march participants of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through video link on Tuesday, he said that the risk of repaying loans to banks was 5% during PTI govt\u2019s tenure that has now exceeds 5.64 percent which means our economy has been devastated.
\nImran Khan said during the government of PTI till April, the risk of returning the loan from Pakistan\u2019s banks was 5 percent, now it had increased to 64.5 percent.
\n\u201cThis means that our economy has been murdered and the nation should understand what has happened to them,\u201d he said adding that \u201cthe world is understanding that Pakistan\u2019s economy is weak and it will not be able to repay its loans\u201d. He added that foreign investors are always reluctant to invest in a weak economy.
\nImran further alleged that Sharif and Zardari\u2019s families have increased our loans by four times. \u201cIf we default, the rupee will depreciate further because dollars won\u2019t come in and people won\u2019t invest,\u201d the former premier said.
\n\u201cSharif and Zardari have increased our loans by four times. If we default, the rupee will depreciate further because dollars won\u2019t come in and people won\u2019t invest,\u201d the former prime minister added.
\nFormer premier Imran Khan that he had warned the \u201chandlers\u201d six months back that the conspiracy to bring imported government into power will cause losses to the national economy. But they paid a deaf ear to my advice, he said added that who is responsible for the economic crisis in Pakistan today.
\nPTI Chairman Imran Khan stated that the only solution to the economic crisis in the country was free and fair elections. Imran Khan has called on Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP) Umar Ata Bandial, saying that the nation was looking at him for justice in three \u2018landmark\u2019 cases.
\nThe former premier called on CJP Umar Ata Bandial to hear three \u2018landmark\u2019 cases: senior journalist Arshad Sharif\u2019s murder; Senator Azam Swati\u2019s custodial torture; and the Wazirabad FIR issue.
\nGiving details of the cases, Imran Khan noted that senior journalist Arshad Sharif was threatened and fake cases were registered against him. \u201cHe [Sharif] was forced to leave the country and was later killed in Kenya,\u201d he added.
\n\u201cSenator Azam Swati\u2019s case is also a landmark one. He was taken from home on a tweet and was beaten in front of his family,\u201d the former premier said, adding that the Senator was later stripped naked and tortured.
\nImran Khan noted that being a citizen of Pakistan it was his constitutional right to register a first information report (FIR). \u201cHowever, despite being the former prime minister, I could not register FIR after an assassination attempt,\u201d he added.
\n\u201cCJP Bandial, the nation was looking towards you because we don\u2019t have hope from anywhere else,\u201d he said, adding that it was high time the courts became assertive and stood with the people of Pakistan.
\nHe again called for fresh elections, saying that the only solution to the economic crisis in the country was free and fair elections. \u201cThe risk Pakistan has today it shows where we are heading, we wouldn\u2019t be getting investment or loans or exports,\u201d he said.
\nImran Khan has accused the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) of working on an agenda against the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI).
\n\u201cChief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sikandar Sultan Raja passed decisions against us eight times and all of them were rejected by the judiciary,\u201d he pointed out. The former premier lamented that the ECP only heard PTI\u2019s foreign funding case and an investigation was conducted in a biased manner. =DNA<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
