Islambad (National Times)- Chief of Army Staff General Qamar Javed Bajwa has asked me not to call JUI-F\u2019s Maulana Fazlur Rehman \u201cdiesel\u201d, Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Friday.<\/p>\n
Addressing a public gathering in Lower Dir at Balambat Ground in Timargara, the premier said that he told Gen Bajwa that he is not calling Fazl \u201cdiesel\u201d but it was the public that has given the PDM chief this name.<\/p>\n
\u201cI want to convey this message that when a person bows down in front of somebody, they lose their self-respect; and when a nation bows down in front of somebody nobody respects the country and its passport,\u201d the premier said.<\/p>\n
The PM told the charged crowd that he has focused on three things since he entered into politics 25 years ago. <\/p>\n
“[I want] to make our country self-sufficient, to make our country a welfare-state and to ensure law and justice prevail in the country,\u201d PM Imran told the charged crowd.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese three principals have been a part of PTI\u2019s manifesto and these were adopted from Riasat-e-Madina,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Speaking about the three “stooges” \u2014 leaders of JUI-F, PPP, PML-N\u2014 who have joined hands against him, PM Imran said the chiefs of these three parties are among those who have been ruling the county since last 30-35 years.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf today the world does not recognise Pakistan\u2019s green passport it is because of these three because these three mortgaged Pakistan,\u201d he claimed.<\/p>\n
‘How will Fazl fix Pakistan Army?’
\nRecalling Fazl\u2019s previous press conference, PM said said that Fazl \u2014 who is also the president of PDM \u2014 had earlier said that when he comes into power he will fix the institution. However, the PM claimed that PDM chief had meant \u201che wants to fix Pakistan Army\u201d.<\/p>\n
Criticising him for this statement, he said that if Pakistan is surviving today it is because of a strong army.<\/p>\n
\u201cMuslim countries including Somalia, Syria and Afghanistan are in crisis; however, Pakistan is saved because we have the most powerful army in the Muslim world,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Questioning Fazl for his statement, he asked how will he [Fazl] fix the institute?<\/p>\n
\u201cThese three leaders destroy all the institutions they try to fix,\u201d claimed PM Imran, highlighting that they attacked the courts in Pakistan, bribed the judges, chased away the chief justice of Supreme Court and did yellow journalism.<\/p>\n
Biggest coward, biggest liar is living outside Pakistan: PM Khan
\nWithout mentioning the name of former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, PM Imran Khan said that the \u201cbiggest coward and the biggest liar\u201d of Pakistan is residing outside the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey say I shouldn\u2019t call him fugitive but the fact is that he is fugitive and liar,\u201d the premier said, adding that he started envelope journalism in Pakistan.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe person who tried to bribe former army chief Asif Nawaz Janjua with a BMW is planning to fix the Pakistan army,\u201d he said, taking a jibe at the PML-N supremo.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe person who met Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Nepal and invited the person who is torturing the Kashmiris to a wedding; how will he fix the Pakistan Army,\u201d he questioned, highlighting all the issues.<\/p>\n
Once again criticising them, he questioned: \u201cWho will fix the army \u2014PDM chief, who told the American ambassador that he is ready to serve him if given one chance, or PPP\u2019s Asif Ali Zardari, who wrote a letter to American to protect him from the army?<\/p>\n
\u201cOr will Shahbaz Sharif, who said that I did wrong by criticising the European Union, fix the institute?\u201d<\/p>\n
‘I will take three wickets with one ball’
\nCalling the Opposition leaders a \u201cbouquet of bandits\u201d, he suggested they forget about such a dream to fix the institutes of Pakistan.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was praying that the Opposition brings a no-confidence motion because they were planning sit-in separately,\u201d he said, adding that now \u201cI will take three wickets with one ball.\u201d<\/p>\n
PM Khan says only ‘animals are nuetral’
\nSpeaking about PPP\u2019s \u201cAwaami March\u201d, he said that after so much they brought people to Islamabad from Sindh and what was the message that he gave \u201ckaanpein tang rahi hain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Taking a jibe at the PPP chairman, the PM said that by the time Bilawal leaves politics, new words will be added to the dictionary like \u201ckaanpein tang rahi hain, cheeni ugg rahi hai.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what happens when you forcefully try to make a person a leader\u2026kaanpein taangti hain,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
He further added that Allah did not allow us [PTI] to be neutral as only \u201canimals are neutral\u201d because the animals do not distinguish between good and evil. \u201cHumans stand with the good,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
