ISLAMABAD: PTI Chairman Imran Khan warned that the justice system in the country was under threat because of the new government in power.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the executive council meeting of the PTI’s Rawalpindi chapter in Islamabad, the former prime minister said that his successor \u2014 PM Shehbaz Sharif \u2014 siphoned off Rs16 billion under his servant\u2019s name and alleged that whenever the investigation agencies started questioning any of those servants, they somehow died.<\/p>\n

The PTI chairman said that a country is run on the basis of strong institutions where justice and law are supreme. However, he added that with the arrival of the incumbent government, the rule of law has ended as there is a different law for the rich and a different one for the poor.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere is no justice in the country; employees of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) are afraid, so only the judiciary can salvage the situation,\u201d said Khan.<\/p>\n

The PTI chairman, while calling the incumbent government a “blackmailing mafia”, claimed that people were fearful that they would be “threatened if they take action against the rulers”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the biggest problem in the country and the justice system of the country is under threat. Those who are supposed to catch the thieves are saving themselves,\u201d said Khan.<\/p>\n

The PTI leader also claimed that journalists and media houses were being threatened, adding that eight first information reports (FIRs) have been registered against him.<\/p>\n

Policeman attacked \u2018Azadi march\u2019 against their conscience<\/strong><\/p>\n

Talking about the party’s \u201cAzadi march\u201d, the PTI chairman claimed that the policemen who had attacked his supporters were acting against their conscience.<\/p>\n

He also questioned why his supporters were attacked for carrying out a “peaceful protest”.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were peaceful citizens in the long march not terrorists. It is the citizens\u2019 right to protest in a democracy,\u201d said the PTI leader. He also claimed that law enforcement agencies had thrown off PTI workers from the Ravi Bridge.<\/p>\n

\u201cTheir legs started shaking after seeing the sea of people in the long march,\u201d claimed the PTI chairman.<\/p>\n

\u2018Pakistan is on its way to become Sri Lanka\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

Commenting on the country’s economic situation, the PTI leader warned that Pakistan was on course to turn into a Sri Lanka, adding that the incumbent leaders had devised policies to cause more inflation than the PTI government during its 3.5-year term.<\/p>\n

\u201cPetrol and electricity are missing, while the rupee is falling. The country was progressing rapidly but these thieves conspired against us,\u201d said the PTI leader.<\/p>\n

He also warned the masses that the incumbent government was planning to increase the power tariff further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
