The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) commenced on Tuesday an inquiry into the reported abuse of the provincial government's helicopters by the PTI chief. "I came here today in a PTI helicopter," he explained further. Moreover, the PTI chief demanded that NAB should inquire into the utilization of Punjab government's resources by Nawaz's family.
Commenting on the Senate elections, he said that Senate members belonging to PTI were being offered money for the election in the upper house. He, however, warned that party members would storm the houses of PTI parliamentarians who sold their votes. Imran Khan criticized Nawaz Sharif for mounting verbal attacks on judiciary saying that the ousted Prime Minister was given countless opportunities to supply evidence in support of his stance. He alleged that Nawaz Sharif was using Parliament against the judiciary and warned that they would hit the streets if the lower house was used against the judiciary.
Talking about the reports of wanted former police inspector Abid Boxer's return to the country, Imran said, "If Abid Boxer remains alive he'll reveal how many people he killed on Shehbaz Sharif's orders." Abid Boxer, wanted for several extrajudicial murders, was nabbed in Dubai earlier this month and brought back to Pakistan today, according to sources.
Taking jibe on PML-N leadership, PTI chief said that former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is using Parliament to save himself and attack the judiciary. "In 1997, PML-N (Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz) attacked judges with sticks and bought judges on the Quetta bench," said Imran, adding that "this is how a mafia works."
Imran Khan referring to Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi's statement on Monday, wherein, he regretted that elected representatives are termed "thieves, robbers and Godfather" in the courts. Abbasi, speaking in Parliament, had also called for a debate on the matter so a clash of institutions could be avoided.
