I have my personal watch, I can sell it whatever I want: Imran Khan - Toshakhana Case

Lashing out at the coalition government, former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has said that it will not damage the interest of the "gang of thieves" if the country defaults.

Addressing a press conference Sunday, Khan said the "gang of thieves" has properties in foreign countries worth billions of dollars, hence they do not care about the economic collapse of the country.

He added that the US dollar will further shoot up and there would be no foreign investment "if Pakistan defaults".

“A group of thieves has been imposed on us,” the deposed premier said, adding that the gang has been stealing national wealth for the past 30 years. He also said they were laundering the looted money abroad via illegal means including hundi and hawala.

A day earlier, Finance Minister Ishaq Dar reiterated that the “economy is going in the right direction” and it would “not default”. He added that no more experiments could be done with the country’s economy as Pakistan had gone through its “darkest economic periods” during the previous government’s tenure.

People came to know how the Sharif family was laundering the looted money when the Hudaibia Paper Mills case surfaced, Khan added. The Sharif family’s “front man” Ishaq Dar recorded his statement under Section 164 of the Criminal Procedure Code (CrPC) and revealed the details of the money laundering.
Default risk soars to 100%

The PTI chairman warned that Pakistan’s default risk has surged to 100% as the 88% of local investors do not believe in the incumbent government.

As long as this government lasts, the country’s economic instability will increase, warned Khan. “They will leave the country whenever they get a chance.”

Referring to the alleged horse-trading at Sindh House in the past, the PTI leader said that the Constitution suit them only when it benefits them, otherwise they have always flouted the law.

He urged the national security institutions to look into the ongoing situation in the country.

He also

accused the Election Commission of Pakistan and the establishment of supporting the ruling alliance led by the PML-N during the recent by-polls in the country.

“Maryam Nawaz reached [homeland] first, then Ishq Day was dry cleaned and now Suleman Shehbaz would be dry cleaned,” Imran Khan said.

“We all knew who gave them NRO-II,” Khan said and asked if Constitution allows NRO-II.

The PTI chairman feared that PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari would not go into elections.
‘Injustice destroys nations’

Reacting to Suleman Shehbaz’s return to the homeland, the former prime minister said: “An absconder responsible for billions in corruption & money laundering, Salman Shahbaz, is drycleaned & returns to Pakistan.”

Sharing a hadith on his Twitter handle, Khan wrote if anyone wants to understand why Pakistan's economy is now a disaster, just two incidents provide the answer.

He said that Senator Azam Swati, 75, has been subjected to custodial torture, beaten up in front of his grandchildren, his house vandalised and sealed, and he is being dragged from one province to another under multiple “false FIRs” registered against him in total “violation of all laws and basic human rights” enshrined in the Constitution.

“In contrast an absconder responsible for billions in corruption & money laundering, Salman Shahbaz, is drycleaned & returns to Pakistan,” he added.
ECP warned

Addressing the new military leadership in the presser, the former premier said: “The new regime which has recently taken over should think about the country for God’s sake. National security institutions should see what is happening with the country.”

He also stressed that the nation and army go hand in hand, not separately.

Commenting on the matter of his disqualification at the Elections Commission of Pakistan, the PTI leader said that the ECP will earn more “humiliation if it disqualifies” him.
