Immediate elections is only solution to end this "Imported Government": Imran Khan

Upper Dir: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan said that fresh elections are the only way to end this "Imported Government", adding that his government was not toppled because of inflation, but it was to impose the ‘US puppets’ in the government.

While addressing a public gathering in Dir Bala in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Imran Khan said that his government was not toppled because of inflation, but it was to impose the ‘US puppets’ in the government.

He demanded immediate elections in the country for pulling it out of the prevailing crisis. "Immediate elections are the only solution to end this 'Imported Government'", He added.

Imran Khan said he wants the youth to stand for the country and never embrace the slavery of a foreign power.

He reiterated India, Israel, and US hatched a conspiracy to topple his government and imposed their subservient so that all their orders are followed without resistance.

PTI chairman said the massive hike in fuel prices could never be done by a person who cares about the people.

Imran Khan said the International Monetary Fund (IMF) had also pressurized them but he did not accept the harsh demands, adding that the PTI government reduced Rs10 on petrol and Rs4 on power tariff instead.

He said the PTI government utilized other resources but did not transfer the burden of global oil prices on the people to prevent an inflation storm.

He said per capita income in Pakistan increased by 62% during 3.5 years tenure of PTI along with the introduction of health card and record employment creation in the subcontinent. This happened because I have a stake in Pakistan as I live here and die here too unlike the rulers in the ‘imported government’ whose wealth and assets are parked offshore, he added.

PTI chairman said the government has also increased gas prices after petrol and electricity which would consequently make everything expensive.

PTI chairman said the imported government should seek refuge in help from other countries and should fix the mess. He added that the PTI government ‘fixed’ a country on the verge of bankruptcy but the ‘imported government’ has brought it again to that point with depleting foreign reserves and a rising dollar rate.

Imran Khan said that Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif looks perplexed which is why he says that he did not know that the landmines were laid. “I challenge you [Shehbaz Sharif] to fix the country now,” the former premier said.
