ISLAMABAD: PTI Chairman Imran Khan claimed that horse-trading was happening in Lahore with MPAs being offered Rs500 million to sell their loyalties.
Taking to his Twitter handle, the former prime minister wrote: “Today Lahore is seeing a repeat of the Sindh House horse trading that happened in Islamabad with up to Rs 50 crores being offered to buy MPAs.”
Blaming former president and PPP Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari for being the “main architect” who gets NRO for his “corruption and purchases people with looted wealth”, Khan said he should be jailed.
“This is not only an attack on our democracy but also on the moral fabric of our society. Had Supreme Court taken action and debarred these turncoats for life, it would have acted as a deterrent,” claimed the PTI chairman.
He also asked the “handlers” of the incumbent government whether they realised the “severe damage being done to the nation”.
The PTI chairman further claimed that after his government was “toppled with stolen money from Sindh and NRO 2 achieved, certified criminal Asif Zardari in cahoots with Sharif mafia now seeking to steal Punjab people’s mandate by trying to purchase MPAs”.
“Want to ask Honourable Supreme Court are they not cogniscant of the damage being wreaked? Isn’t the destruction of our democracy, Constitution and nation’s morality a fit case for Suo Moto action? Are the “Neutrals” not realising how our beloved country is literally being destroyed on all fronts by the Imported government brought in through US regime change conspiracy?” asked the former prime minister.
On the other hand, PTI leader Fawad Chaudhry said that the party will move the Supreme Court against horse-trading, accusing the PML-N of giving Rs400 million to PTI MPA Masood Majeed.
Speaking at a press conference, the senior PTI leader said that Majeed has left the country and reached Turkey after taking a huge sum of money.
“PML-N’s Ataullah Tarar contacted our MPA. They are buying MPAs by giving them Rs350 million,” Chaudhry alleged, saying that there will not be any democracy in the country if this keeps happening.
“We want Rana Sanaullah, Zardari and Ataullah Tarar to get arrested and the court to conduct an immediate inquiry into the matter,” he added.
