SWABI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chief Imran Khan on Sunday said that China Pakistan Economic Corridor will change the fate of Pakistan.

The PTI chief was addressing a rally in Swabi, where he said that his party does not have anything against China but with the federal government.

He said that the federal government should make the CPEC contract public, adding that Nawaz Sharif had promised that western route would be made first in the project.

Every province should get its rights, he added.

Imran Khan heavily criticsed Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazl Chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman saying that he is the ‘vice captain of Nawaz’s corruption team’.

“For God’s sake don’t use Maulana with your name,” he said in an apparent message to the JUI-F chief.

Imran lambasted the prime minister saying “appointment of an independent chairman NAB would be destructive for Nawaz Sharif.”

Although the PTI chief lauded interior minister Chaudhry Nisar’s statement regarding appointment of Chairman NAB, saying Nisar stated what he had suggested earlier.

Earlier on Saturday Chaudhry Nisar Ali had cast his doubts over accountability in the country given the appointment of the NAB chief by the government and opposition.  

"The process of accountability can be transparent only if the judiciary appoints NAB chief," the minister had said.
