SUKKUR: PPP leader Khursheed Shah on Saturday claimed the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan has started fearing the PPP after its show of power in Islamabad on December 5.
“Imran had thought the PPP had dissolved,” Shah said, adding the PTI chief was caught unaware by the power show by PPP in Islamabad.
“Now he [Imran] is scared.”
Shah further said that the PPP is a grass-roots party, which has always fulfilled the promises it has made to the masses.
About the incumbent government, the opposition leader said it should complete its tenure and general elections should take place at their designated time.
“Imran Khan should first save his back and then talk about others,” the PPP leader added. “He should explain where the funding for his party [PTI] is coming from.”
The opposition leader was referring to the rally PPP held in the federal capital. The gathering was organised to celebrate the party’s golden jubilee.
While addressing the rally, PPP Co-Chairperson Asif Ali Zardari had said his party will not make efforts in the future to save the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz, adding that former prime minister Nawaz Sharif has emptied the national coffers.
"We have saved their government twice, we will not save them again in the future," the former president had said.
