MIANWALI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan said that it is high time that Chief Minister of Punjab, Shehbaz Sharif, should stop fooling the nation. 

"For how long will you continue fooling the nation Shehbaz Sharif," the PTI chairman said, adding that Shehbaz and his brother, former prime minister Nawaz Sharif, have only fooled this nation.

"One wants to gain sympathy by questioning [the Supreme Court's decision] to disqualify him [from holding public office] while the other brother (Shehbaz) has not done anything to develop Punjab."

The PTI leader, while addressing a rally in Mianwali, said that all of the development in the province is only in the advertisements printed to promote the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz (PML-N).

He promised the attendees that his party if it comes to power, will bring 100 million people out of poverty. 

"The crime and terrorism rate has gone down by seventy percent in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) after the PTI came to power in the province," he said. "God willing, I will set the Punjab police straight the same way I changed the police system in KP."

The PTI leader told the rally participants the only change that the CM Punjab has brought to the police is using the taxpayers' money to change the law enforcement force's uniform.

"Through amendments and reforms, I am going to change the Punjab police force," he said, adding that the KP government has made appointments to the police force through pure merit by utilising the National Testing System (NTS).
