FAISALABAD: Minister for Interior Rana Sanaullah on Sunday lambasted Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan for pursuing ‘politics of hatred’ and ‘inciting the people of Pakistan for attacking state institutions’, ARY News reported.
Addressing an inauguration ceremony in Faisalabad, the federal minister said that the previous rulers – who according to him were imposed on the country – did nothing for the nation, but ‘corruption and misleading the country’s youth’.
“During its three-and-a-half-year tenure, the previous government only committed corruption and did not launch any development project in the country”, Rana Sanaullah said, adding that the previous rulers only created chaos – which damaged the country.
Referring to PTI chief, the interior minister said that a ‘religious fanatic’ attacked the former premier in Wazirabad, but the “latter blamed the incumbent government”. “The suspect had bought a pistol from Wazirabad three days before the attack”, he claimed.
“He [Khan] created hatred among the people and the country suffered loss”, he said, adding that they have never seen “such hatred in the country before”.
