Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan claimed on Tuesday efforts to debar him underway in bid to bring former prime minister Nawaz Sharif back to “the country’s political scenario.”
Talking to journalists of foreign media, the deposed premier spoke of his “Jail Bharo Movement,” saying it was the peaceful movement, during which he would be the first to surrender. “It will take me two more weeks to recover completely from the injuries, after which I will lead the movement by myself,” added Mr Khan.
Speaking of the peace in Afghanistan, Mr Khan took a dig at Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, saying, “Mr Bhutto-Zardari could go to the United States for lunch. But, he is not willing to land in Afghanistan for the sake of peace.”
Recalling his ouster, Mr Khan claimed that this was for the first time in the country’s history that the masses had denounced a regime change.
Talking about the Punjab’s political situation, Mr Khan lamented, “Such people were imposed in the province, who were responsible for the May 25 incident.”
