Addressing the party convention in Islamabad, Khan said that we approach courts but they reject our petitions declaring them invalid, adding that the entire world has kick-started investigation into the Panama leaks. The PTI chairman said that in the west, when leaders lie they are made to resign, because they know their institutions are so strong. “In the West, Nixon, a US president was impeached on the basis of phone tapping,” he added. He said that why didn’t the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) issue notice following the Panama leaks, adding that the NAB doesn’t catch bigger thieves. Khan said that they approached the Election Commission of Pakistan but didn’t receive any response. “Corruption and rigging go hand in hand. If there is an honest man who wants to serve the country, why will he rig the system?” The PTI chairman said that Raiwind is a not anyone’s personal property, adding that the preparations for the march will commence from September 24. Imran Khan further requested the gullus of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to interrupt them otherwise they would get what they deserve. “This is not a PTI’s fight but this is a fight for the Pakistan.” He further announced that the protest campaign will continue till the accountability of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
