“I was aware of their unity and now, these people are imposed on the country who were involved in corruption. A criminal gang has been imposed on this country.”
‘Faced blackmailing’

I want to appeal with the nation to elect us with a two-third majority in the parliament to form a strong government in the Centre.”
He also admitted that party tickets had been awarded to the wrong candidates in the elections. However, the same mistakes will never be repeated in the future after experiencing blackmailing and party violations.
“The current scenario is very different as the nation has sensed the foreign conspiracy for the first time in the country that led to a regime change.” The former premier was of the view that the foreign conspirators would never win to launch a successful plot against a regime until they are aided by internal elements like Mir Jafar.
“The most corrupt people have become part of the cabinet. Half of them are on bail. They are now blaming the PTI for increasing the troubles despite our political party leaving the power at a time when the country has the highest rate of exports and remittances.”

The PTI chairman announced leading a strong election campaign in the rural parts of Sindh. He said that the Zardari mafia has made the people of Sindh its slaves and ruling over them.
