Will shut whole country if put under house arrest: Imran

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Sunday warned of shutting down the entire country if attempts were made to put him under house arrest.

Addressing his party workers here, Imran Khan said PTI marchers were ‘coming to Islamabad to dislodge monarchy of Sharifs’.

“Punjab police and its administration should decide whether they are servants of Sharifs or Pakistan,” Imran Khan snapped, asking, ‘does Nawaz Sharif pay your salaries out of his own pocket?’

He warned that if any worker of his party was tortured, the rulers of Punjab would not get any place to hide.

“The present rulers’ time is up, we will now get fair elections conducted,” he maintained.

Imran Khan said resignations were no big deal, PTI workers were ready to even lay down their lives for the cause they had been struggling for.
He said he would hold a press conference in a couple of days and put the lid off on how the general elections of 2013 were rigged.

The PTI Chief said 71 cases were pending in courts against Sharif family and that he is not a businessman who would want to cut a deal with anyone.
