LAHORE – Minister for Railways and Pakistan Muslim League-N (PML-N) leader Khawaja Saad Rafique criticised Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday, stating that Imran should put an end to the ‘political show’ he is organising and refer to the courts to seek response regarding the investigation of the Panama leaks issue.
While addressing a press conference with other PML-N leaders including Talal Chaudhary and Pervaiz Rasheed, he said that if decisions related to matters are going to be decided after arranging rallies at the Charing Cross in Lahore then the courts should be closed.
He suggested Imran to finish the ‘road show’ and take a serious action. “Those who cannot kill rats in Peshawar are willing to confront the lions of Lahore”, he said. He said that the PML-N does not believe in the practice of politics based on allegations. He further said that he is least interested in crticising Imran or the PTI but the kind of politics he is practicing gives PML-N the right to respond.
He maintained that the PTI chairman should be ashamed of himself while talking about others and that he wants to harm the country by repeating its failures of the past. The minister criticised Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) Chairman Bilawal Bhutto asserting that his mentors and related party members are not giving him the right kind of advice.
Raza said that PPP leader Aitzaz Ahsan can verify the tax return submitted on annual basis to the Election Commission by the PML-N leaders. He added that the prime minister did not bow before former president Pervaiz Musharraf and inquired “will he now bow before baby Bilawal or Imran Khan?”
