Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf founder Imran Khan on August 8 claimed that the country’s Government led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif is “foolish” and will “soon meet its end”, Pakistan-based ARY News reported.
Imran Khan, the country’s former prime minister Imran Khan while talking to reporters in Adiala Jail, where he is currently being held, said that the Government, which does not understand the situation, is sinking deep into a muddle and “will soon meet its end”, ARY News reported. He added that he has plenty of time, unlike the Government.
The 71-year-old founder of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party demanded the CCTV footage of last year’s May 9 riots be made public to ascertain the real culprits behind the riots.
He added that if any PTI worker is found in it, he would not only expel them from the party but also apologise, ARY News reported.
“If the culprits are found to be affiliated with the PTI, I will not only expel them from the party but also apologise,” ARY News reported, quoting Imran Khan.
He added that the footage will help identify the culprits and said that the conditional apology is for the sake of Pakistan, ARY News reported.
