Sanaullah challenges Imran to initiate 'Jail Bharo' movement.

LAHORE -- Federal Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah on Sunday challenged Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan to start the 'Jail Bharo' campaign aimed at mass imprisonments of his party workers to protest the legal crackdown on some of them, adding that he would 'treat' them.

Addressing a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) convention in Multan, Sanaullah, who also serves as the party's provincial president, said that PTI leaders will be imprisoned where PML-N leaders were imprisoned.

However, he said, the current administration would not be as 'strict' as their predecessors had been on them, rather they would be given all the facilities.

However, alluding to certain rumours, the interior minister said that Imran would not give 'one thing without which he cannot live'.

He also took the opportunity to address the 'propaganda' about the PML-N being afraid of elections. He declared that his party was not afraid of polls, rather they would contest the election and form a government in Punjab after winning there.

On the occasion, Sanaullah also boasted the accomplishments of his party's supremo, Nawaz Sharif, who he said had made the country into a nuclear power, adding that Pakistan was on course to become an 'Asian Tiger'.

'Nawaz Sharif conducted six nuclear explosions for the sake of the country, compared to India's five [but] the world does not accept any Muslim country becoming a nuclear power,' he said.

The interior minister said that Pakistan's sovereignty remains intact because of its nuclear power. He said that the country's economy was developing in the 90s, and given how the situation is these days, if the country was not a nuclear power, 'India would have attacked us'.
