Three options have come from establishment, not from our side: Imran Khan

in unequivocal terms that three options were given by the establishment and not from his side.

“Chief election commissioner name was also given by establishment. Reference against Supreme Court (SC) senior judge Justice Qazi Faez Isa from our side was our mistake. I purchased things from Tosha Khana by paying 50 percent price. If nation accepts US conspiracy then it will be bad for our country, he said this while talking to like minded journalists here Monday.

“I myself will give tickets in next election. I will not give ticket to any electable. Elections will do take place. Shahbaz Sharif has started political engineering from just now. PTI has obtained no foreign funding, he remarked.

Responding to a question he said establishment came up with three proposals. I have agreed with the proposal of election. How could I accept the proposals of resignation and no confidence motion?

To another question he said I telephoned Gen Bajwa before proceeding to Russia. Gen Bajwa said we should go to Russia. Army was on board in my visit to Russia.

Regarding Tosha Khana he said they have found tosha khana after three and half years. I purchased things from tosha khana after paying 50 percent price. We raised the prices of tosha khana goods from 15 percent to 50 percent. No corruption case or scandal has come against us. Tell me if I have struck any deal.

He disclosed establishment had given name of chief election commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja. Dead lock had been created between government and opposition over the appointment of chief election commissioner.

Filing reference against justice Faiz Isa was our mistake, he underlined. We should not have waged judicial confrontation unnecessarily.

He observed if the nation accepts US conspiracy then it will be very bad for the country. When India and US talked of do more then no one spoke. The way people supported us no one was expecting it.

He reiterated Pakistan suffered heavy loss in US war. Army is much needed by the country. I will not utter anything which harms the army.

I talked to Russia about wheat, weapons, oil and gas. Russia was ready to give us wheat and oil at 30 percent cheaper rate. Had our foreign policy been independent then this would not have happened. Independent foreign policy is in the interest of people. When country started heading towards prosperity then this conspiracy emerged.

Mafia has got NRO-2, he said adding they will now get abolish their cases from NAB and FIA, he underlined.

Nation will have to come out for freedom, he stressed.

Conspiracy started against me in the month of November, he pointed out. Plan was worked out to bring no confidence motion against me in January.

US embassy met with our dissident MNAs. Our coalition partners also joined them after US threat. The worst restrictions were imposed on media. Where are our liberals?

If this conspiracy succeeds then no PM will be able to stand against US threat, he cautioned. We were asked not to go to Russia. On the other hand their ally India was purchasing oil. We were asked to cast vote against Russia in UN.
