Imran Khan says he won’t negotiate with ‘gang of thieves’

Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday said the PTI would not negotiate with ‘gang of thieves’.

Addressing a press conference at Zaman Park via video link, he said the incumbent government was not competent enough to steer the country out of economic doldrums adding there would be no economic stability in the country without political stability.

Reacting to news reports highlighting the sale of Toshakhana watch, he said it was his choice whether he wanted to sale the watch or not adding it was for the first time that news channels were playing up the news of the sale of watch while leaving all other matters aside.

Earlier, the former Prime Minister said Swati had been “badly tortured”, while proclaimed offenders like Suleman Shehbaz was brought back through NRO-2.

Khan posted on Twitter, saying, “If anyone wants to understand why Pakistan s economy is on the verge of collapsing, only two events are enough: Senator Swati was arrested and beaten in custody, and even in front of his grandchildren, a part of his house was torn away and locks were installed there forcibly.

He continued by saying that because Mr. Swati was the subject of multiple cases based on which he was being moved from one state to another, even human rights were disregarded in his situation.

Taking a jibe at PDM led government and allies, Khan said “Suleman Shehbaz, a proclaimed offender who was involved in money laundering cases was brought back to Pakistan by NRO-2.”

Khan also shared a Hadees-e-Mubarik in addition to his tweet saying “The blessed hadith of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) should be kept in front of everyone, in which The Prophet (PBUH) warned how injustice brings destruction to nations.”
