Only army is transparent, says Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD/JACOBABAD: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Tuesday termed ex-president Asif Ali Zardari and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif ‘corruption symbols’.

During an interview with Arab News, Imran maintained that the PTI has run an ideal election campaign and the next tenure belongs to his party. He expressed confidence in his party’s success in the upcoming general elections 2018.

Imran asserted that the Pakistan Army is the sole institution working with great transparency while other government departments were devastated by corruption.

All those who either belong to PTI, PPP or PML-N should be held accountable for their unlawful activities, he said. Talking about Nawaz Sharif’s imprisonment in the Avenfield Reference case, Imran said it was the first time any privileged person became accountable for his corruption, which is a great success for Pakistan. The chairman PTI said Pakistan has a special bond with Saudi

Arabia. "After becoming the prime minister, I will strengthen these ties. We want a relationship of mutual interest with US." Separately, while addressing locals during his visit to Islamabad's Iqbal Town on Tuesday,

PTI Chairman Imran Khan said that the people residing near the federal capital territory were in a dire condition. Imran remarked about the streets with overflowing gutters saying that former prime minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi is contesting from Sohan too but the roads were inundated with sewage.

The government ruled for five years but the people living near the capital are living in such poor conditions, said the PTI chairman. The PTI chief is visiting parts of the country as per his election campaign schedule. The PTI chief had visited Mianwali on Monday where he addressed three different rallies in Kamar Mushani, Daud Khel and Piplan.

Meanwhile addressing a rally in Jacobabad, Imran Khan said that the PPP looted the people of Sindh in the name of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. He lambasted the Pakistan People’s Party, saying it promised Roti, Kapra and Makaan, yet in 10 years they failed to provide any of it.

Khan said, unfortunately, Sindh has suffered the most loot and plunder. The crux of all problems in Sindh is corruption. “Now Sindh is ready to be liberated from the PPP mafia and to break the false Bhutto's slogan,” the PTI chairman asserted.

Imran Khan said Asif Ali Zardari will meet the same fate as Nawaz Sharif. “Zardari! Nawaz Sharif is awaiting you at Adiala Jail.”

Imran Khan thanked the people of Jacobabad for their enthusiastic welcome. “I wonder whether Bilawal Bhutto Zardari will even be able to come to Jacobabad after watching this grand welcome to PTI.”

In Pre-Election Pakistan, a Military Crackdown Is the Real Issue

Just a month and a half away from national elections, Pakistan’s powerful military establishment has mounted a fearsome campaign against its critics in the news media, on social networks, and in mainstream political movements.

It is all adding up: journalists abducted or threatened, major news outlets blocked, sympathetic views toward the civilian governing party, the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, censored or punished.

Interviews with journalists and political analysts in recent days have been dominated by concerns that a military campaign of intimidation and crackdown on dissent is intensifying ahead of the vote — and nearly unanimously, none dared discuss it on the record.

The latest alarm came with the abduction of a newspaper columnist and prominent critic of the military, Gul Bukhari, by armed men late Tuesday in the eastern Pakistani city of Lahore. Ms. Bukhari was being driven to appear on a late-night talk show on Waqt News when the car was stopped in a military cantonment in the city. She was hauled off and the driver was beaten, the station said.

Ms. Bukhari has frequently crossed two of the military’s recent red lines on social media — criticizing the army for its pressure on the PML-N, as the governing party is known, and expressing support for a
growing Pashtun human rights movement known as P.T.M.

Just a day before, the army’s chief spokesman, Maj. Gen. Asif Ghafoor, called a news conference to declare that social media users who rebuked the military were engaged in “anti-state activities” and were being monitored by the army’s spy agency.

He then posted pictures of some of the country’s most prominent journalists, suggesting they were part of a social media conspiracy against the military, in a move condemned by the Committee to Protect Journalists as “tantamount to putting a giant target on their backs.”

Ms. Bukhari’s supporters see her abduction and General Ghafoor’s threats as related, and some directly accused the military of being responsible. She was dropped off near her home roughly four hours after her abduction, and was unwilling to talk about who was behind it, asking for privacy in a statement released on Twitter.
