Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) seems to have gone all out against the military establishment, with former prime minister Imran Khan questioning why those who claimed to be neutral did nothing to stop the ‘foreign conspiracy’ for regime change. Former human rights minister Shireen Mazari stated that the ‘neutrality of the neutrals’ was under doubt and suspicion.
Addressing a PTI rally in Mardan today (Friday), Imran Khan said that those who could have stopped the conspiracy did nothing to stop it, saying “I sent Shaukat to those who call themselves neutral but unfortunately they did not stop it.”
He also warned the incumbent government about calling fresh elections soon, saying “I am giving you warning if you don’t give us election date, the ocean of people coming to Islamabad will blow you away.”
He told his supporters to wait for his call for the long march to Islamabad, which would be given any day after May 20.
Khan also called Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) leader Nawaz Sharif a ‘big coward’, saying that decisions about the fate of Pakistan can’t be made while sitting in London. “Only people of this country have that right, they will decide who will lead them,” he said.
“It would have been better to drop an atom bomb on Pakistan than to bring these people into power,” he said.
Earlier this morning he had tweeted about the state of the economy and the rupee reaching an all time low, and said that it reflected the people’s confidence in the current government. He also said that he and Tarin had warned the ‘neutrals’ that if the ‘conspiracy’ against Khan was to succeed, the ‘fragile economic recovery’ of the country would tailspin.
Market awaiting policy & action, which Imported Govt has failed to provide. Both myself & Shaukat Tareen had warned the "Neutrals" that if conspiracy succeeded our fragile economic recovery would go into a tailspin. That is what has now happened. #امپورٹڈ__حکومت__نامنظور

Meanwhile former human rights minister Shireen Mazari has also claimed that the ‘neutrals’ were not really neutral during the ‘regime change conspiracy’ that Imran Khan alleges was the reason behind his ouster.
She made this statement during a press conference held today (Friday), shortly after Imran Khan’s tweet about the neutrals.

Mazari questioned if they had taken into consideration how their decision would affect the economic and political landscape of the country. “Did you think about how it would lead to the ruin of the economy, the breaking of laws, the elimination of the supremacy of parliamentarians or the violation of the Constitution?”
She further questioned how someone could remain neutral while the country was heading towards ruin and while a ‘foreign conspiracy’ was underway.
Imran Khan and his backers are now making credible statements that forces a Establishment on a path for LBW. US may desire and even ask for what is good for US, all Pakistanis have to unite and irrespective of the cost, do what is necessary for Pakistan. This is the only way forward. The internal conflict in Pakistan is for every one to see. The Shareef government has failed to take population in confidence, instead they have been busy performing umrah and collecting frequent flyer miles from trips to London. Severe steps need to be taken, such as deployment of 111 Brigade, to clean the slate, drop the curtain on the sordid saga that is Pakistan today. There is no end in sight. The dark tunnel is infinitely long.
When Imran Khan approached the “Neutrals” they clearly told him that he had three choices before him: face the no confidence motion, resign or call for an election. Why didn’t he call for an election when he could have easily done it, instead of clamouring for it now?
If he had advance knowledge of a foreign instigated conspiracy to overthrow his elected (or selected?) govt, why didn’t he prosecute the Mir Jafars and Mir Sadiqs for sedition?
Why doesn’t the present govt prosecute Imran Khan for instigating violence and attacking institutions?
Why don’t the courts prosecute Imran Khan for contempt of court instead of sending him a message through Sheikh Rashid?
Astaghfirullah. Shows the madness of imran Khan and his league of madmen
IKN wants to burn the house. He does not care for the country. He is extreme fascist. May ALLAH bless our country.
