IMRAN KHAN FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION :
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said
he will continue to fight against corruption in the country till his ‘last
breath’. Imran Khan, while addressing a political gathering asked the people,
“I need your prayers to fight against the king of corruption ‘PM Nawaz’. “I
want youngsters and minorities to stand by me in this struggle,” he added.
He promised for a system of justice, equality, prosperity
and merit in Pakistan only if his party is voted into power.
Khan vowed to continue his struggle against corrupt rulers.
“This is for the first time when a prime minister is being
scrutinised in Pakistan. I promise that I will continue my efforts to eliminate
corruption and to hold the kings of corruption accountable. I promise to fight
till my last breath,” he vowed.
Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said
his party is not doing politics but waging a holy war against a corrupt mafia.
“We are fighting against corruption. We are not doing
politics; rather we are waging a Jihad against the godfather of a mafia,” Imran
said while addressing a press conference at Nathia Gali.
Talking with reference to recent statements from the ruling
party leaders and members of the Sharif family against the Panamagate joint
investigation team (JIT), Imran said the ruling PML-N had planned to make the
JIT controversial by slandering it.
He said no one could think that a JIT would question the
Sharif family a day. “The much-awaited day is coming and it should be a great
match,” he said.

Former governor of Punjab and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
leader Chaudhry Muhammad Sarwar has said that PTI is the only real opposition
and that any compromise on principles on corruption is out of the question.
Addressing party workers here on Sunday, he said that the
country’s leaders will have to fulfil the promises they made before the
elections, adding that the PTI was gaining strength Pakistan over time.
Sarwar said that the PTI had played its role as an
opposition party and raised its voice against corruption, oppression,
injustice, and cruelty. He further added that the PTI would continue to do so
in the future as well.
“The PTI has never raised any demand in contravention of the
constitution or democracy,” he added.
Sarwar said that the party had played its role for the
betterment of the country and the welfare of the people. “All promises must be
fulfilled so that Pakistan may progress and move forward”, he said.
“It’s too early to write an epitaph for Pakistan Peoples
Party. Like the mythical Phoenix, the party is rising from the ashes. And its
young chairman, Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, is desperately trying to reclaim some
of his party’s lost glory. The party, which has been labelled as a ‘friendly
opposition’ for its ‘wheeling and dealing’ with the PML-N government, is now
repackaging itself as an aggressive political adversary for the ruling Sharifs”

Khan led Pakistan
Tehreek-e-Insaf became the opposition party in Punjab and
Sindh. Khan became the parliamentary
leader of his party. On 31 July 2013 Khan was issued a contempt
of court notice for allegedly criticising the superior judiciary,[133] and his use of
the word shameful for the judiciary. The notice was discharged after
Khan submitted before the Supreme Court that he criticised the lower judiciary
for their actions during the May 2013 general election while those judicial
officers were working as returning officers.[134] Khan's party
swooped the militancy-hit
northwestern Khyber
Pakhtunkhwa, and has formed the provincial government. PTI-led
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government presented a balanced, tax-free budget for the
fiscal year 2013–14.
On 13 November 2013, Imran Khan,
being party
leader, ordered Pervez Khattak to
dismiss ministers of Qaumi Watan Party who
were allegedly involved in corruption. Bakht Baidar and Ibrar
Hussan Kamoli of Qaumi Watan Party, ministers for Manpower & Industry and
Forest & Environment respectively, were dismissed. Khan ordered Chief Minister KPK to
end the alliance with Qaumi Watan Party. Chief Minister KPK also dismissed
Minister for Communication and Works of PTI "Yousuf
Ayub" due to a fake degree.

on Imran Khan-led protests in late 2014)
One year after elections, on 11 May 2014,
Khan alleged that 2013 general elections were rigged in favour of the ruling
Pakistan Muslim Leaque. On 14 August 2014, Imran Khan led a rally of supporters
from Lahore to Islamabad,
promising Nawaz
Sharif's resignation and investigation into alleged electoral fraud.[141] On its way to
the capital Khan's convoy was attacked by stones from Muslim League supporters in Gujranwala; however, there
were no fatalities. Khan was reported to be attacked with guns which
forced him to travel him in bullet-proof vehicle. On 15 August Khan led
protesters entered the capital and a few days later marched into the
high-security Red Zone; on 1 September 2014, according to Al Jazeera, attempted to
storm Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif's official residence, which prompted the
outbreak of violence which has resulted in three deaths and more than 595
people injured, including 115 police officers.
By September Khan had entered into a de facto
alliance with Canadian-Pakistani cleric Muhammad
Tahir-ul-Qadri; both have aimed to mobilise their supporters for
regime change. Khan entered into an agreement with Sharif administration
to establish a three-member high-powered judicial commission which would be
formed under a presidential ordinance. The commission would make its final
report public. If the commission finds a country-wide pattern of rigging
proved, the prime minister would dissolve the national and provincial
assemblies in terms of the articles 58(1) and 112(1) of the Constitution –
thereby meaning that the premier would also appoint the caretaker setup in
consultation with the leader of opposition and fresh elections would be held.
“”Chief Justice of Pakistan Mian Saqib Nisar — while
hearing a case regarding illegal felling of trees and encroachment of land in
Bani Gala, brought to his notice by Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan
—said Khan can bring change in the country and his influence could help boost
the morale of the people.
"Your words can move the nation to look at things
positively," Justice Nisar said. "You are not an ordinary citizen,
people look up to you."
Briefly touching upon the Panamagate verdict while in
court, Justice Nisar said, "Dissenting verdicts are given everywhere in
the world but nowhere are they discussed as much as in Pakistan."
"Everyone is supposed to respect the courts and
their decisions, including you," Nisar told Khan.
At this, Khan praised the five-member Panamagate
bench, saying that he stood behind the country's institutions.
"People come to courts looking for an institution
they can trust. It is up to us to rid the air of distrust and move
forward," Justice Nisar remarked during the proceedings.
On a lighter note, while reminiscing about their
shared past, the chief justice reminded Khan that he had played cricket under
Khan's captaincy during their time at Aitchison College.
"Once you hit the ball so hard that it flew all
the way beyond the church premises," he recounted.
Regarding the matter of the felling of trees, the
court ruled that no trees were to be cut in the Bani Gala Botanical Gardens and
National Park.
It also said that any buildings set up within the
premises of the Botanical Gardens must not be given electricity and gas
connections.
Talking to the media after the hearing, Imran Khan
said: "I am grateful to the chief justice for taking notice of a matter of
public interest, which I wrote about in a letter to him."
"We stand with the justice system and the nation
has high hopes attached to the judiciary," he added””

Imran asks PM Nawaz, CM Punjab to resign following JIT report
(Dawn.com | Fahad Chaudhry July
10, 2017)
Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan, while
addressing a press conference following the submission of joint investigation
team's (JIT) report in the Supreme Court, claimed that Sharif family has been
looting the country for the past 30 years but now their time is over.
Imran said Nawaz Sharif should have resigned on moral
grounds the day two judges of the SC had ruled that "he was no more fit to
hold public office".
"All of our apprehensions have been proven
correct," the PTI chief said, adding that the negative role of
institutions including Intelligence Bureau (IB) and Securities and Exchange
Commission of Pakistan (SECP) has been exposed in the report.
Accusing the Sharif family of making institutions
obstruct justice, Khan said that the Sharifs did everything they could to stop
the state institutions from performing their duties.
"Instead of sending a reference against him [Nawaz],
the speaker [Ayaz Sadiq] forwarded the reference against me," the PTI
chief said while demanding a resignation of National Assembly Speaker Ayaz
Sadiq along with Nawaz and Shahbaz Sharif.
"They have been asking what their crime is, let me
tell them today, money laundering is your biggest crime," Khan said,
explaining that laundering money was a bigger crime than corruption since the
consequences of former on the country's economy are much greater than that of
the latter.
Taking a jibe at the Nawaz Sharif's daughter, Khan said
that Maryam Nawaz was the only person in the Panama leaks who claimed that her
family's name had been included by mistake. "No one else denied that they
had an offshore company other than Maryam nawaz."
"But now the [JIT] report has proven Maryam Nawaz is
the owner of the Mayfair flats," Khan said, adding that this meant her
father had laundered the money in her name.
They have used ministers, institutions and all other
government resources to protect themselves, he said.
The PTI chief also thanked lawyers for the lawyers'
movement which became a basis for independent judiciary today.
"It has emerged that Nawaz Sharif is chairman of an
offshore company in Dubai," Khan said, promising that Naya Pakistan will
have free and independent institutions.
"Shahbaz Sharif was the chairman of Hudaibiya Paper
Mills and will not be able to escape," Khan added.
This party is seems like a very honest with Pakistan and it's nation.
