Will only let Zardari, Nawaz go if nation’s money is returned: PM Khan

Prime Minister Imran Khan
Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday warned Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) President Asif Ali Zardari and Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz quaid Nawaz Sharif that they can join hands or do as they please but the government "will only let them go if they return the nation's money".

Addressing a rally at the palace of Grand Democratic Alliance's (GDA) Ali Gohar Khan Mahar in Khangarh, the premier said, "Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad visited Pakistan on my invitation. The Malaysian premier strengthened institutions and brought happiness in the lives of his people."

"Nations aren't poor but corruption makes them poor and indebted," he continued. "Pakistan was progressing in Asia and today each and every child in the country owes debt. We also need to take loans to pay back loans," the premier lamented.

Stating that in the past the nation was plunged in debt, PM Imran said, "Sindh should have been Pakistan's happiest province. Karachi is Pakistan's economic hub and the most gas is found in Sindh."

"Land in Sindh is fertile but people in interior Sindh are the most poor and the only reason for that is corruption," he stated.

Taking a hit at the PPP, PM Imran said, "A train march was launched to hide corruption worth millions of rupees. Money from corruption goes into fake bank accounts that is then laundered out of the country."

Upholding that "today a drama is being staged that democracy is in danger", the premier said, "I challenge you [Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif] today, do whatever you want, join hands if you want, we still won't leave you. We will only leave you if you return the nation's money."

Bilawal’s arrest will be a dangerous game: Khursheed Shah

Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Syed Khursheed Shah on Sunday said that the arrest of PPP chairman Bilawal Bhutto Zardari would be a dangerous game, one that would create ripples in the country. Speaking to media in Islamabad, Shah said Prime Minister Imran Khan is creating uncertainty and a crisis situation in the country. “He [Imran Khan] has done nothing except arrest politicians. He is being asked to do things which no other politician would do.” Responding to a question regarding Bilawal’s arrest, Shah said that a lot of courage is needed to arrest him. “It is not possible to arrest him but nothing certain can be said about this government.” "There is no need for in-house change in Sindh because the cases have been made on the bases of assumptions and it is not possible to impose governor’s rule in the province,” the senior PPP leader said. “There is no place for it in the constitution. Governor rule can only be imposed through martial law.” The former opposition le
