PESHWAR: PTI chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan, at a convention in Peshawar ON Tuesday, alleged that Ishaq Dar has returned to Pakistan under an “NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance)”.
Dar, he claimed, was summoned by the National Accountability Bureau and asked about his properties. “Instead of giving a response, he fled in the prime minister’s airplane when the party was in power.
“He has returned to Pakistan today and is going to become the finance minister,” Imran said. “So this means that you are handing over the country’s money to a man who has been an absconder for the last five years.”
Dar said he was ill […] no, he was just scared and now he has come back through a deal, the PTI chairman said.
“We are unfortunate that our system of justice could not stop him, and neither did the people who are the protectors of the country,” he said.
“But PTI and Imran Khan will stop Dar’s way,” the PTI leader promised.
“I will hamper Ishaq Dar’s plans, Pakistan’s treasury is being handed over to someone who was an “absconder for last 5 years.”
“Dar has made a deal under NRO before returning to Pakistan,” he claims.
Khan says it is “unfortunate that justice system could not stop Dar.”
Imran Khan warned that he will obstruct PML-N leader Ishaq Dar’s plans, saying that Pakistan’s treasury is being handed over to someone who had been an “absconder for the last five years.”
Speaking during the Ulema and Mashaikh Convention in Peshawar, the former prime minister alleged that Dar had made a deal under National Reconciliation Ordinance (NRO) before returning to Pakistan.
“It is unfortunate that the justice system could not stop Ishaq Dar,” he added. “A fugitive, after stealing billions of rupees, was roaming freely abroad and was taking decisions for Pakistan.”
Comparing Muslim states with European countries, Khan said that there was only 20% of rule of law in Muslim countries. “If you want to see justice, then go to Switzerland. There is a 100% rule of law there,” he added.
He continued to say that those who want to see a welfare state should go to Sweden and Britain.
Speaking about his aide Shahbaz Gill’s arrest and alleged torture, the former premier said that JUI-F chief Fazl-ur-Rehman was part of a government where these cruel acts were taking place. “Sixty per cent of people belonging to this cabinet are out on bail,” he said.
Khan also spoke about the country’s economy while taking a jibe at the leaders in the government. He said that the economy has deteriorated while unemployment was increasing and these leaders have only come to hide their corruption cases and not to serve the nation.
