Imran suffering from Nawaz phobia: Saad Rafique

ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): Federal Minister for Railways Khawaja
Saad Rafique on Wednesday said Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)
Chairman Imran Khan is suffering from Prime Minister Mian Muhammad
Nawaz Sharif ‘phobia’.
Speaking to newsmen outside the Supreme Court, he said “we
come and speak in media as we want the people to know our viewpoint.”
“If Imran, Leader Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) Siraj ul Haq and Awami
Muslim League (AML) chief Sheikh Rasheed were serious enough then
they would have focused on the court proceedings instead of giving
statements.”
“They are doing politics on Panama papers and not serious in
fighting the case in the court,” he said.
He said PTI’s selection of lawyers clearly indicated that they
were not serious in the case. He questioned Imran that whether he is
working for Pakistan or its enemies. “When it comes to providing
evidence in the court than Imran has nothing to offer. Imran did
not serve in KPK and instead only knows to block the capital and do
sit-ins,” he remarked.
PTI does not talk about the Khyber Bank and their performance
in KPK. “They do not talk about the jail break of D.I. Khan,” he
said adding Imran introduced abusive language in politics which was
not the culture of politics.
He said Imran was hiding when Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz
(PML-N) participated in long march for the restoration of judges and Nawaz
Sharif was leading from the front.
“A leader is who leads from the front rather than making his workers come to fore,” he said.
Khawaja said Imran started from ball tampering and “now is doing
politics and democracy tampering”.
“Imran gives call for sit-ins and he hides in his home making
his workers suffer,” he said.
Speaking about the PTI funds that come from abroad he said why
Imran did not respond to Akbar Barbar’s petition.
Khawaja said Imran Khan is busy in pressurizing national
institutions to achieve his goals. He said Imran Khan and Sheikh
Rashid were doing the politics of lies and baseless allegations.
He expressed the confidence that the people will vote for PML
(N) in the next general elections in 2018 and will elect Nawaz
Sharif as Prime Minister once again.
