FAISALABAD – February 9 (ONLINE): Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday came hard at opposition parties, calling their leadership ‘dacoits’ and ‘thieves’, and maintained that any ‘looter’ will not be spared.
Addressing the inaugural ceremony of National Health Card Programme in Faisalabad Division, the premier said that corrupt leaders, who had looted the national exchequer during their tenures, had ganged up fearing they might be sentenced in their cases of corruption.
“Opposition leaders, who had earlier boasted to ‘tear up each other’s bellies to recover looted money’ have now joined hands before any verdict is announced on their pending corruption cases.” The Prime Minister said.
He said that person who had gone to London for medical treatment was visiting factories. “Some lawyers are saying that his lifetime disqualification should be abolished. He should return and restart his plunder,” he added, talking about former Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.
