In a televised speech,the PTI chairman claimed that terrorism reached an all-time low during his administration but resurfaced with vengeance during the “current administration.”
“Look at the graph of terrorism and how it declined during the PTI administration,” he said. “Why wasn’t there terrorism when the PTI was in the federal government?”
Imran blamed incumbent Prime Minister Shebaz Sharif for increased terrorism,recalling the sacrifices made by the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during the war on terror and crowded the streets for fear that there might be another operation.
The PTI chief added that Shebaz had “spread lies” at a cabinet meeting over the weekend about KP’s inappropriate use of terrorism funds. “KP has spent Rs 600 crore in nine years. We have established four police training schools,elite training schools in Nowshera, Special Combat Forces to Counter Terrorism,said Imran.That’s why terrorism has subsided. In 2017 he also established a DNA lab at Kyber Medical College.
Commenting on the award by the National Finance Commission (NFC), the former prime minister said only his two states, Punjab and his KP have honored the pledge and donated funds for tribal district collections.Imran said, Sindh and Balochistan did not provide the money.We have invested Rs 55 crore in the tribal districts. The PDM government only gave Rs 5b. crore.”
