Foreign funding being used in attempts to topple PTI govt: PM Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD: Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Sunday that foreign funds are being used in ongoing attempts to topple the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government, ARY News reported.

PM Khan said that a conspiracy is being made to topple the PTI government via foreign funding. “We will not accept slavery at any cost. Our people are being used on the basis of foreign funds. Some of our people are deliberately being used. I am aware of the destinations who are involved in pressurising our people.”

He made the revelations while addressing the Amar Bil Maroof rally at Parade Ground today.

PM Khan has announced that he will not pardon the thieves even at the cost of his life and power.

The premier said that the big thieves have gathered to get another National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) from him just like they got in Pervez Musharraf’s era.

PM Imran Khan, while addressing the Amar Bil Maroof rally in Islamabad’s Parade Ground, said that the three rats who have recently joined the hands against Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) government were looting the country for the past 30 years.

“Since the first day of power, they are trying to blackmail the PTI government. They want Imran Khan to surrender just like [former military ruler] Pervez Musharraf.”

PM Khan announced that he will not pardon the thieves even at the cost of his life and power.

PM Imran Khan thanked the nationals for heading to the federal capital in large numbers on his call. He also praised those lawmakers who had rejected to sell their consciences.

He said that the ideology of the creation of Pakistan was making it a true Islamic welfare state on the principles of Madinah. A merciful state will always get successful on all fronts. The PTI government gave health insurance to the nation by distributing Sehat Insaf Cards.

The premier said that he will reveal the facts about external interference against the PTI government in his speech today.

He detailed that billions of funds were spent for the weak segment of the society through the Ehsaas programme besides giving interest-free loans to 2 million families for constructing houses and getting technical education.

“We have reduced the prices of petrol and Fazlur Rehman [diesel] up to Rs10 per litre. We have also reduced the power tariff and disbursed Rs250 billion subsidy.”

“My nation is passionate about making Pakistan a great nation. I am still standing firm on my ideology for 25 years. Our country will see prosperity by following the teachings of Prophet Muhammad Peace Be Upon Him (PBUH). We have to bring a humanist system here. We will uplift the poor people by collecting taxes from the rich people of the country.”

The premier said that the nation should have understood the reason for not giving NRO to the corrupt people as all big nations had witnessed destruction by jailing common thieves and giving NRO to big thieves.

Imran Khan said that horse-trading is on the rise for toppling the PTI government. “Opposition is comprised of three rats including Cherry Blossom [shoe polish], diesel and an absconder.”

PM Khan said that Pakistan’s steps on coping with the coronavirus pandemic crisis are being praised across the globe. The national economy witnessed a growth rate of 5.6 per cent when the world economies were suffering from the Covid crisis.

He added that the country generated the highest tax revenue and exports during PTI tenure. Moreover, overseas Pakistanis were effectively facilitated and the country recorded the highest foreign reserves.

“People should ask for the eases created for the construction industry farmers regarding their earnings as a record crop-production of wheat, rice, potato and corn was recorded during our government.”

“Pakistan’s industries are expanding now while the government had also given a new package to the small and medium industries. I will spend the tax money for the welfare of the nation after receiving tax revenue following the growth of the industry.”

PM Khan said that there is a big difference between the rulership of a corrupt one and an honest person.

The premier said that the country had witnessed record corruption during Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) tenures. “Why they will care about the welfare of Pakistanis when their children are living abroad?”

He criticised that a conspiracy is being made against the country. He said that the corrupt personalities allowed drone strikes in Pakistan after receiving foreign funding.

“The son-in-law and grandson of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto late are now sitting with his murderers to advocate them.”

“Attempts are being made to affect our foreign policy. We are aware of the conspiracy for several months.”

PM Khan said that a conspiracy is being made to topple the PTI government via foreign funding. “We will not accept slavery at any cost. Our people are being used on the basis of the foreign funds. Some of our people are deliberately being used. I am aware of the destinations who are involved in pressurising our people.”

“We have given a stance that an independent foreign policy is in the national interest. We were given threats but we will not compromise on the national interests.”

The premier said that they were threatened via a letter which he kept as evidence with him. “I am ready to show the letter off the record if someone is suspicious about it.”

“I am not levelling allegations as this letter is present as evidence with me. I am not going into detail as I am protecting the national interests. I have more to prove the foreign hands in the conspiracy against the government.”

He reiterated that Pervez Musharraf had done injustice to the nation by giving NRO to the two corrupt families.

PM Imran Khan asked the dissident PTI MNAs to tender resignations before voting on the no-confidence motion if they are against the government.
