Imran Khan's 'downfall' is imminent, predicts Nawaz.

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif on Thursday said he is not a seer or a fortuneteller but he knows that Imran Khan's downfall is imminent.

Speaking to visitors at Kot Lakhpat prison, Nawaz said Imran has concrete charges against his sister Aleema Khan and that they both will be held accountable. "Imran Khan is a player who will soon be thrown out of the stadium by the spectators. His Bani Gala residence is in the midst of corruption. Imran should be ashamed of himself," Nawaz was quoted as telling party leaders at the prison. "We came into power through the public mandate but they do not have that. I am not a seer or a fortune teller, but I know Imran Khan's downfall is imminent," he added.

Nawaz said Imran Khan is incompetent and is blaming the previous government to hide his own incompetence. "His incompetence has brought the country to the edge of destruction," he said. "During our tenure, the Indian prime minister came to Pakistan. Now, he did not even invite anyone for his oath-taking," he lamented. "When we made Pakistan an atomic power, the world realised of Pakistan's importance," he added.

Criticising the government, the PML-N leader said, "We had said goodbye to the IMF but they are bowing down in front of them. Imran Khan had said he will commit suicide if he ever went to IMF, he did not commit suicide but the nation is being forced to." "During our tenure, the dollar was in control and our exports were increasing. If Imran Khan had not been selected the prime minister, then the country would not have been in this condition. He has disheartened the nation in just 10 months," he added.

"PML-N left full coffers, built motorways and worked on terrorism and inflation," the former prime minister said. "The government is putting politicians in jail without any basis," he alleged.

Later, while addressing a press conference in Lahore, PML-N leader Shahid Khaqan Abbasi said all of Prime Minister Imran Khan's post-budget speech is based on threats and abuses. "Imran Khan has directed to form commission for the investigation of loans.

We are ready to appear before the commission for interrogation as we are not afraid of inquiries," he asserted. "I think that this current PM doesn't know that every single penny of loan money is mentioned in the record," he added.
