Imran says PTI to move court against LNG deal

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Friday announced that he would file a case against ruling government over giving the contract of Port Qasim to Qatari "business partner" for Rs 200 billion. Imran Khan was talking to media at Lahore Air Port. He said after the Panama verdict, his party would file a petition seeking a probe into multi-billion dollar liquefied natural gas deal. Imran said that verdict of Supreme Court on Panama Leaks case is expected next week.
The entire nation is waiting for the Supreme Court verdict. He maintained that it was for the first time in history that a powerful class in Pakistan was being held accountable. "Everyone knows the Qatari letter was brought to hide the money trail. None of the powerful has been held accountable in our system. The case would not have gone to the Supreme Court if the institutions were working," he said.
Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif thought that the letter will save him the same way it saved him when the helicopter scandal surfaced, Imran added. The PTI chairman said that according to estimates every year ten billion dollars were repatriated from Pakistan. Imran Khan termed that the disclosures made by Husain Haqqani were an act of ''''treason''''. He also called it a conspiracy against the armed forces.
Imran Khan commented, "It is an old habit of our politicians to give hidden messages to India and America telling that we were with you, but the army opposed us." The Memogate, the Dawn Leaks and what Ussain Haqqani said constituted one objective: defame army. The Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) asked the politicians not to defame the army. "If there is any trouble, talk to the forces", he said.
While agreeing with PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari''''s statement regarding National Accountability Bureau (NAB) chairman Imran Khan said that when NAB could not initiate proceedings against Ishaq Dar, how could it launch investigations against Asif Ali Zardari as NAB chairman''''s appointment enjoyed the blessings of both Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari.
Earlier, while talking to media after PTI Lahore urban meeting, Imran Khan said that after the Supreme Court decision on Panama election campaign will be kicked off in the country. He appreciated the role of PTI Lahore president Waleed Iqbal and General Secretary Mian Hammad Azhar for strengthening the organisation in Lahore. Imran claimed that PTI will win all national and provincial assembly seats in Lahore. "The party who wins Lahore wins Punjab and made government in Pakistan. Lahore is the heart of Pakistan," Imran concluded.
