LAHORE: Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah has said that he was waiting for the government’s permission to arrest Imran Khan.
He was talking to media in Lahore on Saturday soon after the arrest of PTI leader Shireen Mazari in an alleged corruption case.
In response to a question Sanaullah said the politics of Imran Khan would end in three days if he got permission to arrest the PTI chairman.
“Pray that I get the permission to book Imran Khan,” he said.
The interior minister said it is the will of his heart that PTI chairman be booked. “After the arrest, Imran Khan should be kept in the same cell where I was kept,” he said.
The minister said the institutions should not be with them but with Pakistan while dismissing that the government or anyone else was behind the arrest of Mazari.
To a question regarding the chief ministership of Punjab, he said Punjab Assembly Speaker Pervaiz Elahi should first go for voting on the no-confidence motion against him and then call a session.
Earlier, speaking to reporters outside ANF court, Sanaulah said that Pakistan Muslim League-N did not bring former Prime Minister Imran Khan to power and if the current government was stopped from performing, then those who brought Khan should take the responsibility.
“We neither brought him [Khan] nor gave him the power. If we are stopped from solving people issues, then those responsible [for Khan’s election] should face the consequences and we would go to the people [for elections], “ Sanaullah said.
The minister said the PML-N was not responsible for the current state of the economy.
