‘The person who was blamed of being part of the Jewish lobby was the one to get resolution against Islamophobia passed in UN’: PM Khan

Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Wednesday said that the Opposition fears that if he stays in office for another year, their leaders will be thrown in jail.

Jewish Lobby

Addressing a public gathering at Swat, PM Khan lashed out at Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam-Fazl (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman, said he alleged that Khan was part of the “Jewish lobby”.

“But the person who was blamed to be part of the Jewish lobby turned out to be the one to get a resolution against Islamophobia passed in the United Nations.”

“I want to ask you Fazlur Rehman: In the last 30 years, you were part of every government. Did you ever persuade any Western leader to speak against Islamophobia? Did you even speak to them?”

“Terrorism has no religion, and despite Islam having no links with terrorism, a perception was created that terrorism is being spread across the world,” the prime minister said.

In a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) three years back, the prime minister said he had raised the issue of Islamophobia, and after that, he raised it again at the UN.

“Before that, no Pakistani leader had raised the issue at the UN. Earlier, Pakistanis would come out on the streets and vandalised their own property whenever Islam was insulted in Western countries. At that time, I told them: don’t do this, I will raise this issue internationally,” he said.

Reach Islamabad to show you stand with the truth

The premier urged the nation to reach Islamabad on March 27 to tell the world that Pakistanis “stand with the truth and are against corruption”

“People’s conscience is being auctioned […] it is the duty of people now to stand against evil,” said PM Khan.

“All the thieves have gathered on the same page and they have given me a chance to bowl out three wickets in a single ball,” added the premier.

 I will hunt them down

The prime minister urged the nation that they have to struggle against three “mice” — Zardari, Fazl, and Shehbaz Sharif — for the future of the country.

“But I also promise you that I will hunt them down,” he vowed as he called on the people to support him in the cause.

PM Imran Khan claimed that the Opposition has started horse-trading to make their no-confidence motion against the prime minister successful.

“They want to oust me because they know that if I am in power for another year, all of them will be in jails […] and the first thing they plan on doing after coming into power is to dismantle NAB,” he said.

‘Kanpien taangain gi’

Taking a jibe at former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, the premier said, “But the slaves, who worship money, their kanpien tangain gi (legs will tremble) before the American president,” the prime minister said, lashing out at PML-N supremo Nawaz.

PM Imran Khan said he “looks eye-to-eye” with the president of the United States or any other country, as for him, “no one but Allah is God”.
