Zardari wants to save Swiss accounts: Imran

SUKKUR, Sept 18: Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has said that President Asif Ali Zardari wants to save his five billion dollars kept in Swiss banks, and wondered if the government is ready to write the letter why it wasted the time of the Supreme Court and the nation.

Speaking to the media at a Hindu temple in Jacobabad on Tuesday, he condemned alleged excesses against minority communities in Sindh and said that his party, if voted into power, would not leave them alone under any circumstances.

He said his party workers would be providing protection to religious minorities in their respective areas because the government was not capable to do that.

He met Hindu leaders and discussed with them the issues being faced by the community.

He expressed sympathy with them and assured them of his party’s full cooperation in mitigating their sufferings.

About the violence in Karachi, Mr Khan said that peace could be maintained in that city if the police played an absolutely impartial role for the purpose and did their work efficiently.

“This could happen only when the system is changed,” he stressed.

He termed the recent Baldia Town factory fire “excesses against the poor by the rich”.

Earlier, the PTI chief visited rain-hit areas along the Jacobabad bypass and distributed relief goods among the affected people.
