Imran says rulers 'tasked with recognising Israel' | Dawn News |

CHARSADDA: Vowing to continue his struggle till the ouster of `imported government imposed on the people through an international conspiracy', Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chairman and ex-premier Imran Khan said on Sunday the rulers were a security threat for the country, alleging that they had been `tasked with recognising Israel' and compromising with India on Kashmir issue.

Claiming that he would never accept the `imported government of slaves and looters', Mr Khan told a party workers' convention in Charsadda that the rulers were ready to do everything ordered by America, but the masses were on his side as they were aware of `the real leaders' who would save Pakistan from the slavery of foreign powers.

Mr Khan hurled these allegations, including a clear reference to Israel's recognition, a few days after Israeli President Isaac Herzog during his special address at the World Economic Forum talked about the `great change' vis-a-vis Israel's ties with the Muslim world, mentioning that he recently received a delegation from Morocco and another of Pakistani expats living in the US.

"And I must say this was an amazing experience. We haven't had a group of Pakistani leaders in Israel in such scope. And that all stems from the Abraham Accords, meaning Jews and Muslims can dwell together in the region [...]," Herzog was quoted as saying in Davos on May 25.

At the Charsadda jalsa, Mr Khan said the PTI government had reached an agreement with Russia for import of petrol at 30pc cheaper rates, but the "imported government abolished that agreement" in fear of US administration and increased petrol and diesel prices.

"The PPP, the MQM, the PTI and other parties will have to face their fate. Karachiites will reject all those who participated in the downfall and destruction of the city in the upcoming local bodies elections," said JI Karachi chief. [_link]

Announcing the JI demands, he said that corrupt officials and water tanker mafia under the `patronage' of the government had `created' a very complicated water crisis for the sake of their own monetary benefits and the only solution was the completion of the K-IV water supply project.

He said that the project was introduced 17 years ago but still it was not completed.
He said that the voters in Karachi had already rejected the massive decrease from 650 million gallons of water to 260 million gallons of water in the project. He asked the government to complete the project on a war footing.
