Imran presents five demands to govt at Balochistan rally

DERA MURAD JAMALI: Presenting five new demands to the government of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Sunday threatened to launch ‘peaceful protests’ again if his demands are not met.

Speaking at a public rally here, he demanded that management of PIA and Steel Mills must be reformed; petrol price should be reduced by Rs5 and diesel by Rs20; tax payers money which he claimed plundered and stashed abroad should be brought back to Pakistan; three new taxes on electricity should be withdrawn and its prices be reduced by Rs3 per unit; and salaries of poor workers of Steel mills should be released immediately.

“If these demands are not met then we will have no other option but to come out on streets again for peaceful protests,” said the PTI chief.

Khan also advised the PML-N government to make Federal Bureau of Revenue (FBR) an independent institution by bringing about structural reforms in it.

The cricketer-turned-politician said it appeared highly unlikely that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif would be able to complete his five-year tenure till 2018.
