Political-dacoits blackmailing me: Imran Khan
Sahiwal: Horse trading underway for senate elections. He was also offered hefty sum for the elections, Prime Minister Imran Khan made these comments while addressing a public gathering in Sahiwal, where he arrived earlier today on a one-day visit.
PM said that he knows the person who is offering money to the parliamentarian and he cannot be blackmailed by the mafias.
It is not possible that a senator after this entire activity don’t indulge in corruption. Talking about the past, he claimed that legislators who were kicked-out from PTI had taken 10 million each and to stop this illicit practice, government is moving ahead for an amendment relating to Senate elections.
Bashing JUIF Chief Maulana Fazal-ur-Rehman, PM said that Maulana is involved in illegal practice of fetching millions on the account of Madrasa students and thinks that he is above the law. PDM has botched and a fugitive living extravagant life in London is claiming to be a revolutionist, he added.
He said that the government had taken action against "Lahore's largest Qabza group", accusing a former prime minister of supporting them. "The [former] prime minister and his government were protecting these land grabbers," he said.
