Imran Khan, the founder and chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has decided to write a letter to the Chief of Army Staff, General Asim Munir, regarding the current state of affairs in the country. Khan emphasized the importance of this step, stating that he will write to the Army Chief about the country’s situation.
Khan stressed that the government must be formed in accordance with the public mandate, as the country cannot function without it. He highlighted the alarming state of the country’s finances, stating that the tax collection stands at 13.3 trillion rupees, while 9.3 trillion rupees are spent on servicing debts. Khan questioned how a country with a population of 24 crore can sustain itself under such circumstances.
The former Prime Minister also revealed the reason behind issuing a show-cause notice to Sher Afzal Marwat, a senior PTI leader. Khan stated that Marwat had done excellent work for the party, but emphasized that working within the party’s framework is crucial. He mentioned that Marwat had been warned multiple times against violating party policies.
Khan further elaborated that Marwat often criticized other party leaders, and he was advised that battles should be fought against external forces, not within the party. The PTI chairman also mentioned that during the visit of a Saudi delegation, Marwat made controversial statements, while Khan himself had requested Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to host the Islamic Cooperation Organization (OIC) conference twice.
The former Prime Minister acknowledged Marwat’s contributions to the party but stressed that he should not repeatedly violate party policies. Khan stated that if Marwat continues to follow party policies, there is no issue, but if he fails to respond to the show-cause notice, it will be considered a violation of party discipline.
Khan avoided answering questions about his recent meeting with Sher Afzal Marwat in jail. He also discussed the 190 million pounds settlement case, stating that keeping it confidential was a demand from the Property Tycoon and the National Crime Agency. Khan clarified that the money was seized due to suspicious transactions, not money laundering.
The PTI chairman claimed that if the case had gone to civil court, the money could not have been brought back to Pakistan for another five years. He mentioned that Pakistan has already lost 100 million dollars in various cases abroad. The 190 million pounds case was closed by NAB but reopened two years later. The money deposited in the Supreme Court’s account has also generated 13 billion rupees in profit. Khan also mentioned the establishment of Al-Qadir University on barren land, which provides free education to children.
Khan further stated that Nawaz Sharif bought a bulletproof car worth 6 million rupees from the Toshakhana, and efforts are being made to acquit him. Zardari took three cars from the Toshakhana and is seeking exemption from the court. Hassan Sharif sold property worth 18 billion rupees, but no action is being taken. Khan said he will not leave the country like Zardari and Nawaz Sharif, as they have palaces abroad where they go shopping.
