Govt trying to push PTI out of political arena through foreign funding case: Imran Khan
KARACHI: PTI Chairman Imran Khan on Saturday evening claimed that the incumbent, "imported" government is trying to push the PTI out of the political arena through the foreign funding case, therefore, for the sake of fairness, the court cases against PPP, PTI, and PML-N must be heard together.

Addressing a jalsa at Karachi's Bagh-e-Jinnah, the former prime minister thanked the people of the metropolis for coming out of their houses to show support to him and said that the purpose of his visit to Karachi was not in the interests of the PTI but it was for the sake of Pakistan and the future of its children.

Talking about the foreign funding case against the PTI, Imran Khan said that the case has been filed to kick him "out of the game" (political arena).

"I say foreign funding and his (Shehbaz Sharif's) corruption case should be heard together," said Imran Khan as he alleged that "false cases" would be made against him and his former cabinet by the Federal Investigation Agency (FIA) and the National Accountability Bureau (NAB).

"If you push us against the wall, then you will be harmed, not the country. We have to remain peaceful," Imran Khan told his followers.
'Interference or conspiracy?'

At the beginning of his address, Imran Khan asked the attendees of the jalsa to listen to him carefully so that they could determine whether his ouster from power was an "interference or conspiracy".

The PTI chairman also asked a charged crowd to raise their hands and show whether they believed his removal was an "interference or a conspiracy".

"A major international conspiracy was carried out against this country," said Imran, adding that throughout his tenure, he was not against any country and stood with humanity.

The former prime minister also shared that since a "strong and powerful" Pakistani community lives in the United States, he believes in establishing congenial relations with all countries.

"My Pakistanis, I want friendship with everyone but I cannot allow our country to become a slave to anyone," he maintained, adding that before coming to Karachi, people were telling him that his life is under "threat" as "mafias" are after him.

"[Nonetheless, I decided to come here] as my life is not as important as your freedom. This conspiracy is to make you slaves to foreign powers. One Mir Jaffer has been imposed on us via a conspiracy," he said while referring to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. The PTI chief then went on to explain to the crowd who Mir Jaffer was.

Explaining the alleged conspiracy against him that led to his ouster from the government, Imran Khan told the people that he learned three to four months ago that US officials had started meeting the leaders of the then Opposition along with PTI's dissident MPs and journalists at the American embassy.

Imran Khan said that after those meetings, when US State Department official Donald Lu met the Pakistani ambassador, he knew that the no-confidence motion was being tabled against his government.

The PTI chairman claimed that the official had "threatened" the Pakistani envoy that if the motion is not successful "then it will be very difficult for Pakistan", adding that he said Pakistan would be "forgiven" if the no-confidence motion is "successful".

"Tell me what more disappointing threat can be issued to 220 million people? And who are they threatening? The country’s elected prime minister," said Imran Khan.

The former prime minister shared that after the meeting, his dissident MPs and the allies started parting ways with the government.

"Tell me Pakistanis, whether it was a conspiracy or not? Which country is threatened like this?" asked Imran Khan.
'Why were the courts opened at 12am?'

The former prime minister said that when ex-deputy speaker Qasim Suri learned about the "threat" letter he adjourned the session of the no-confidence motion.
