‘Asif Zardari tumhara waqt agaya hai,’ PM Khan roars at the Opposition in the face of no-confidence motion

Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Wednesday delivered a fiery speech in Karachi against the Opposition. He said that the submission of the no-confidence motion is the “political death” of the Opposition.

The prime minister said, “I was thinking that somehow if only I could get a hold of their neck, and God listened to my prayers and they submitted a no-trust move. Now they have been trapped and their no-confidence move is going to backfire.”

The prime minister announced he was going to tour interior Sindh soon and that it was his mission to rid the region of the injustices done to it.

“I won’t stop when we hopefully win [against] the no-confidence motion. I will go after them (the Opposition) and won’t spare them. My hands, which had been chained, will now be untied,” the PM thundered.

“Now my first target, who has been under my radar for a long time, is Asif Ali Zardari,” the prime minister said.

The premier also accused the former president of using “police and thugs to get people killed”, engaging in theft and corruption, and laundering money abroad.

“Asif Zardari your time is near,” he warned.

He alleged that the former president roams around with “buckets of money” and has kept Rs200 million to buy PTI parliamentarians.

The premier alleged that when one of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) MNAs informed him that he was offered Rs200 million, he told the lawmaker to take the money and open a panahgaah or orphanage with it.

Turning his guns on the leader of Opposition in National Assembly (NA) Shehbaz Sharif, PM Khan called the former a “boot polisher” and said, “Your time has come as well. You know that after the next three months, you will be behind the bars,” the premier said.

He said Shehbaz had laundered billions of rupees to his son abroad, adding “I will further reduce electricity prices by retrieving public money from his son and son-in-law.”

Talking about Pakistan Democratic Movement’s (PDM) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, “I thank my countrymen for giving record taxes this year. It is because of these taxes that I was able to reduce the price of petrol and Fazlur Rehman [taking a jibe at Maulana by calling his name instead of diesel].”

Talking about Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto-Zardari, PM Khan said, ” I request to you Zardari, for god’s sake teach your son Urdu.”

Talking about European Union (EU) and the criticism hurled at PM Khan for his recent speech questioning the EU envoys in Pakistan, the premier said, “I have not said anything to EU, I was only reminding them of the sacrifices we had made in the past.”

The premier said that Pakistan should pursue friendships with every country and wasn’t against anyone but “I will never allow any country to take action against my nation’s interests.”

“I am a supporter of peace and will not take part in any war,” said PM Khan.
