Web Desk (LTN NEWS): Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), said at his Peshawar Jalsa that plans were being made to get him kicked out of politics by putting him against the military and judiciary.
“The three stooges, including Fazl-ur-Rahman, know they can’t beat me in elections. That’s why they’re coming up with schemes to get me kicked out,” Imran Khan said at a public rally in Peshawar.
He said that his words were being changed to make him look different from the state institutions. “I’ve said that the army chief should be chosen based on how well they do their job, and I still stand by that because there was nothing wrong with it. I also said that Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari, who are both thieves, shouldn’t choose the next army chief,” Imran Khan said.

“The people of Peshawar should tell me if someone who has been found guilty of stealing billions of rupees by a court should be able to choose the army chief,” said Imran khan.
Imran Khan said he never meant to threaten a judge, but the way my chief of staff, Shahbaz Gill, was treated during the investigations hurt me. He said they were putting pressure on him so Gill would say bad things about me and this gets me kicked out of the election.
Imran Khan said that his political opponents had their own propaganda and that they always changed what he said to help them get ahead in the country.
“They even tried to show in court that I was a terrorist, but I will keep fighting them,” Khan said.
“How can the rest of the world respect you when your leaders are corrupt? He told his followers, “I’ve been out in public for seven months because I want to get the country ready for a real revolution.”
“The US undersecretary made it clear to our ambassador in US that he needed to get rid of PTI government or else. And the threat came before the vote of no confidence was even brought up in parliament. Then, they used their stolen money to buy corrupt parliament members,” Imran Khan said at Peshawar Jalsa.

He said that Maryam Nawaz Sharif first said she didn’t own any property overseas, but the next day, her brother said she did. In fact, Nawaz Sharif was the owner of this valuable property.
He said, “I will never, ever let them run the country.”
Imran Khan said that they didn’t want to have bad relations with any country, including the U.S. “We’re with you in times of peace, not war.”
Imran Khan said, “We don’t want our land to be used by any country against any other country.”
He said that he had nothing to do with the US and that he wanted to get along well with all of the world’s major powers, including the US.
“What I want and what I expect is that the US won’t treat us like slaves. I am even willing to talk to India if they give the people of Kashmir their rights,” he said.
Imran Khan said that his political opponents were trying to weaken the army. He said that he had always worked to improve state institutions, including the army.

In one of these videos, Shehbaz Sharif was seen asking for people’s help to help improve the growth of Pakistan’s economy. Imran Khan asked, “How can this man ask people for help when his billions of rupees are sitting in offshore banks?”
Videos of the Sharif family, including Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, Nawaz Sharif, and Maryam Nawaz Sharif, former president Asif Ali Zardari, and JUIF leader Maulana Fazlur Rahman criticizing the military leadership were shown at the public rally.
