ISLAMABAD: Minister of State for Water and Power Abid Sher Ali strongly slammed Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan while calling him a born liar and fraud on Wednesday.
Talking to media outside Supreme Court (SC), he called on Imran and asked him why he hadn’t attended any hearing of the case. “Why is Imran Khan not coming to SC if he considers himself so much brave?”
He pronounced that “Imran Khan is a proclaimed offender and is afraid that he might be arrested if he came to the court. People like Khan always stay in hiding and then attack their opponents.”
The minister also lashed out at Imran Khan’s father and called him a “legitimate thief.” “Your (Imran Khan) father did corruption. He stole money from Pakistan’s institutions and was convicted for corruption and theft by the court,” alleged Sher Ali.
He went on to say that “Imran Khan studied in Oxford University from the money earned by corruption.” He also criticised the Panama Joint Investigation Team (JIT) report and said that “it was basically the words and statements spoken by Imran Khan.”
“JIT’s report is Imran nama and we will reveal it in the court. We will not allow ball tampering in democracy,” he said. He said that “Wajida Zia paid money to his relative.” He warned that “Coffins of liars will emerge from the Supreme Court.”
He criticised PTI leader Babar Awan for filing ineligibility reference against Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif saying, “Babar Awan, thug of Nandipur, filed reference against CM Shahbaz Sharif,” he said.
