Pak PM Shehbaz Remarks On Khan
Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif(Pak PM Shehbaz) has ruled out any talks between the government and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan unless the former premier admits his wrongdoings and issues a public apology.
While addressing the National Assembly on Tuesday, Pak PM Shehbaz criticized Khan by calling him a “fraud” and said it is impossible to talk to someone who “looted the country, attacked the judiciary and did not believe in the Constitution and justice”, Geo News reported.
The joint session of parliament was summoned last week to discuss the key issues confronting Pakistan and provide guidelines to deal with those issues.
“I believe no discussions can be held with a person who consistently and condescendingly rejects invitations for talks on everything – be it COVID-19, the state of terrorism in the country, the apex committee meeting, or the Kashmir conference,” Sharif was quoted as saying.
Referring to the recent fiasco witnessed during the court proceeding of the PTI chief, Sharif said that a certain “favorite” does not appear before any court, no matter how many notices have been issued to him, it said.
“He gets an extension in different courts in the dark of the night and makes a mockery of the judiciary,” Sharif said, criticizing Khan for his remarks against a sitting woman judge and the fact that no action has been taken in this case so far.

“Khan made false cases against the opposition when he was in government and signed an agreement with the IMF [International Monetary Fund] and violated it,” the premier said while listing the wrongdoings of the former PTI government.
Calling out Khan for pushing the country towards bankruptcy, the prime minister reiterated that the current coalition headed by the Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) government “saved the country”.
“Today, the IMF is taking guarantees from us at every step. We have fulfilled all the conditions of the IMF. Congratulations to the finance minister who finalized the terms of the deal with the Fund,” Sharif said.
