Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Sunday alleged that both police and politicians were involved in the Kasur child abuse scandal. Addressing an election rally in Haripur, Khan announced that he would take up the issue in the National Assembly (NA) on Monday (today).
"It is extremely embarrassing for all of us," said Imran while addressing a rally regarding NA-19 by-election campaign in Haripur. "We should ask ourselves, if this had to happen why we created Pakistan," he deplored. The PTI chief called for bringing all those involved in the heinous crime to justice. Imran praised the newly-introduced local bodies system in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa and said that the system will lead to empowerment of common man. "If this local bodies system is implemented, people will not have to go to high-ups and beg them for their due rights," he added.
Asking people to vote for his party candidate in the by-elections, he said it was a fight between the new and old Pakistan. "The old Pakistan was where ISI chief confessed to have bribed people and his case is still in pending, whereas in new Pakistan PTI's lawmaker was charged and arrested for doing corruption," he added.
"For the first time in Pakistan an incumbent minister was arrested over corruption charges and this happened in PTI's tenure," he boasted. Imran Khan said that 'revolution' had been started through the local body system in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.
"I regret that there are two issues we have not worked on: hospitals and universities. Until we bring about a new system we cannot change the deplorable conditions of hospitals in KP," he added.
