DARGAI: In a bid to foil the no-confidence motion against him, Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday offered his party dissident MNAs forgiveness and urged them to come back as their act of changing loyalty could create problems for their children in the future.
PM was addressing a public rally in Dargai tehsil of the Malakand district, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, ahead of the local bodies elections in the reaming district of the province.
While addressing the disgruntled MNA’s of the PTI Imran Khan said that they have committed a mistake by accepting a bribe from the Opposition, but a leader is like a father figure for you, so I am ready to forgive you if you rejoin the party.
“We all make mistakes. Allah also forgives his slaves. I am just like a father figure for you all. But for God’s sake, don’t make such a huge mistake of changing loyalty by taking bribes from the opposition. Think about your children’s future,” the premier stressed
He said that not the nation has become exceedingly aware of politics because of social media, so even a child in the country knows that when a party member becomes a turncoat, there is money involved. He reiterated that the whole nation would assume that the MNAs have sold their conscience.
“You will not be able to attend public gatherings and no one would marry your children when they’d grow up,” he warned his MNAs. The premier went on to say that he is ready to forget all of his disgruntled MNAs given that they rejoin the PTI.
He said that the time has come for the people of Pakistan to make a decision. The youth of Dargai will support the party that has worked for the sake of Pakistan.
Bursting out on the opposition, he said that the PML-N threw PPP’s Asif Ali Zardari in jail during its tenure, while the PPP also initiated corruption-related cases against PML-N when they were in power.
“I was the PML-N that had assigned the title of “diesel” to JUI-F’s Maulana Fazlur Rehman as they accused him of selling diesel permits after taking money from the PPP,” PM said and added that I, therefore, question the Opposition: Is thievery only bad when your adversary commits it? But when they join hands with you, does it become acceptable?
He said that a leader has to lead by example, so if the public would see that their leader is corrupt, people will also follow them. “When a nation becomes morally corrupt, they stop working hard because they resort to corruption as it brings easy money,” he said.
