KARACHI – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan—who reached Karachi on a two-day visit—claimed that his party would win 2018 polls and form the government in the federation.
He was addressing Doctors’ forum in a local hotel here in Karachi on Sunday.
While declaring 2018 polls a decisive moment for Pakistan’s future, Khan lambasted provincial governments of Sindh and Punjab for being indulged in unabated corruption.
Keeping verbal onslaught up, Khan accused Sindh government of virtually clipping all powers of Karachi Mayor. He linked restoration of peace in Karachi with reforms in the police department.
He said that Karachi used to run the entire system of the country.
The division caused Karachi a lot of damage, he said, adding that Khyber Pakhtunkhwa had the highest rate of terrorism, but today it is peaceful.
Later addressing a gathering at Burnes Road, he promised to get rid of mafias, including tanker mafia, if voted in.
Earlier on Sunday, PTI chairman Imran Khan arrived in Karachi for a two-day visit. No one can stop the wave of change now, he said.
Upon his arrival at the airport, he briefly addressed a small gathering of employees of the Pakistan International Airlines (PIA) who came to welcome him.
The PTI chief said the current government has only three months of its tenure left, and it “does not have the mandate to privatise PIA.”
The Sharifs’ steel mills churn out millions whereas the Pakistan Steel Mill is lying here closed, Khan lamented. There is no need for privatisation if the institutions function with honesty, he added.
