PPP government pushing Pak towards ‘anarchy’: Imran Khan
By ANISaturday, March 20, 2010
LAHORE - Criticising the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP)-led government for failing to address issues such as price hike, poverty and unemployment, cricketer-turned-politician Imran Khan has said that the ruling leaders are pushing the country towards ‘anarchy’.
Referring to the Friday’s incident of street violence in Islamabad, Imran said politicians must address the ‘core’ issues facing the country, and warned that the present volatile situation could lead to massive civil disobedience in the coming days.
” Rulers should focus on the core issues instead of making all best efforts to safeguard their vested interests and corruption, he said, adding that the country was facing serious challenges and this was the time to think for the people,” The Nation quoted Imran, as saying.
The Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) chief said the people of the country have lost faith in the government which had only been offering fake and hollow promises.
Commenting on President Asif Ali Zardari’s recent announcement that he would be donating all his body parts after death, Imran said: “It would be better for Zardari to bring back his foreign assets in the country and spend it for the welfare of the people in his life.”
” This will be not less than a gift for the nation from Zardari,” he added. (ANI)
