Two political parties looted Pakistan, says Imran Khan

Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday lashed out at three-time former premier Nawaz Sharif, describing him as a “jackal” who is trying to create “rebellion” in the Army by accusing it of involvement in the country’s politics and calling for a change in the military as well as the ISI leadership. Prime Minister Khan said that Sharif is sitting in London “like a Jackal” and targeting the Army.

Addressing a public meeting in Mingora in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province, Khan  said that Sharif had run away from the country under the pretext of illness, adding that he was a “money worshipper” and had amassed his wealth by looting the country, the Dawn newspaper reported. Khan also slammed Sharif’s daughter Maryam Nawaz for openly accusing the Army of interfering in politics.She is taking advantage of being a woman because women are given respect in Pakistan, she has started spewing venom against the Army,he said.

Rebuking the “corrupt political leaders who have gathered under the Pakistan Democratic Movement”, Khan said a group of thieves and looters have gathered who were asking for special concessions after looting the country. “Two major political parties looted the country during the past 30 years but now it is a decisive time to take action against the corrupt and looters,” he claimed. Khan said Pakistanis would never allow corrupt politicians to hurl allegations against the Army.

The PML-N chief, currently out on bail, is facing multiple corruption charges. The Islamabad High Court had allowed him to go to London for medical treatment in November last year for a period of eight weeks for medical treatment. But he did not come back, while his lawyers told the court that he was still recovering.
