ISLAMABAD: Specail Assistant to the Prime Minister for Political Affairs Dr Asif Kirmani has said that Pakistan Tehree-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan wanted to create anarchy in Pakistan.
Speaking in a PTV programme, he said that Imran did not have any national agenda. He was just doing negative politics due to some personal grudges with the prime minister, he added. He said that in a democratic society, it was right of every one to protest but no one could be allowed to hatch conspiracy against the country on the pretext of holding protest.
He said that the agenda of the PTI was to dethrone the thrice elected prime minister, who, however, he would not resign on the demand of an ‘immature politician’ as he was given mandate for a five-year term. Kirmani said that the PTI, which was in power in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, had failed to serve the masses there. In fact Imran’s politics was exposed as he could not deliver, he added.
He said that the PTI had been badly defeated in elections held in Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu Kashmir, cantonments and by-elections. Its politics of agitation was rejected by the people, he added. He said that despite the fact that name of the prime minister was not mentioned in Panama papers, he presented himself and his family for investigation.
He said that the government was ready for accountability but it wanted that all others whose names were mentioned in the Panama papers should also be held accountable as nobody was above the law.
Imran had admitted that he owned an offshore company and his companions also owned companies and got waived off loans, and they should also present themselves for accountability, he added. He said that the government wanted to resolve the matter of Terms of Reference (ToR) for Panama papers and demonstrated flexibility but the opposition parties insisted for person-specific ToR.
Kirmani said that international organisations were acknowledging effective economic policies of the government and development in the country. There was visible decrease in power loadshedding and efforts were underway to eliminate it completely, he said. He said that agenda of the Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) government was of development and progress while the PTI wanted chaos and destruction in the country.
