Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said on Tuesday that his party will put the country’s institutions on the right track after winning the next general elections.
While addressing a ceremony at Malakand University, the PTI chief said “we will transform NAB (National Accountability Bureau) and FBR (Federal Board of Revenue) first.” He added that the supremacy of law strengthens institutions.
Responding to the legal cases against him, he said “the bigger a leader is the more enemies he is likely to have,” remarked Imran.
Election Commission of Pakistan and the anti-terrorism court have issued arrest warrants against me. Moreover, political leaders such as Shehbaz Sharif, Ishaq Dar’s son, Najam Sethi, Asif Ali Zardari, Faryal Talpur have filed cases worth billions of rupees against me, he claimed.
It is incredulous that Zardari filed a case against me because I called him corrupt, remarked Imran. Stressing the need for merit in society, Imran said: “a good governance can be gauged by its system of merit.” When governance and merit collapse so does a nation, he claimed.
“A nation is not destroyed by an atomic bomb but when its institutions fail.”
Western countries have progressed more because they implemented democracy. But, Pakistan could not progress because of 'badshaahat' (rule of king), he claimed.
While presenting the example of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police, Imran said that people fear police in Sindh and Punjab, but the crime rate has dropped by 70 percent.
“AD Khawaja said that Sindh needs police similar to that of KP,” said the PTI chief.
Imran said that the police in KP became better when the IG was appointed on the basis of merit.
Earlier in the day, the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) sent the non-bailable arrest warrant for Imran Khan to SSP operations.
