New Delhi: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf chief and former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan on Saturday said that Pakistan was being ridiculed on Indian TV channels over its ‘economic condition,’ days after he evaded arrest in the infamous Toshakhana corruption case.
While addressing a gathering for Isaal-e-Sawaab of Zill-E-Shah, the PTI chief said, "Hindustan ke TV pe dekhay, kis tarah mazak udd raha hai Pakistan ka (Watch the TV channels of India to learn how Pakistan is being ridiculed)."
He further alleged that the current leaders have huge properties in Pakistan and abroad and they do not care about the people of Pakistan.
"The way they are treating the nation, there is no future for you and for your children. Pakistan cannot run like this, just look at the television channels of India. How they make fun of Pakistan`s condition. They (Indian channels) are announcing happily that Pakistan is moving towards destruction," Imran Khan said.
He stated that during the independence, the Indian leaders claimed that Pakistan will not be able to exist on its own and will eventually merge back into India.
"What danger did Pakistan face when it was formed? The Indian leaders were saying that they will not be able to survive and they will dissolve back into us. Why did we strengthen our security? Why did we strengthen our army? We stayed hungry to feed the army. That army played important roles and saved us. They gave us confidence. They protected us," he added.
Imran Khan said, "Pakistan was formed because we wanted to be an independent nation. We wanted to be a nation that would have a rule of law. We have everything but rule of law."
