Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday attacked the opposition parties at a power show in Islamabad ahead of the no-confidence vote and said that “three rats” are looting the country for the last 30 years.
The prime minister addressed the rally of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Party (PTI) titled ‘Amr Bil Maroof’ (enjoin the good) at Parade Ground in Islamabad.
In the rally, Khan lauded PTI lawmakers for refusing the opposition’s offers to bribe them in return for their votes in the crucial no-confidence motion. “I am proud of you,” he said.
The 69-year-old former cricketer is heading a coalition government in Pakistan. On March 8, the Opposition parties submitted a no-confidence motion before the National Assembly Secretariat, alleging that the government was responsible for the economic crisis and the spiralling inflation in the country.
As the opposition geared up for a no-trust vote in the National Assembly to oust his government, Khan organised the show of strength in Islamabad.
Here are the top quotes from the power show:
Three ‘rats’ looting Pakistan
“These three rats are looting the country for the last 30 years. For the last 30 years, they jointly sucked the blood of the country. They have accumulated millions of dollars worth of property outside the country and have offshore accounts. All this drama is happening for the sake of NRO (National Reconciliation Ordinance).”
‘…I will defeat them’
“Three rats are trying to hunt me down but what they don’t know is that they will be hunted down instead… I will defeat them.”
