True leader spends money on public welfare: Imran Khan

July 07, 2018 20:45

Taking a jibe at former Pakistan prime minister Nawaz Sharif, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan said that a true and a patriotic leader spends money on the welfare of the citizens and not on extravagant things.

Addressing an Ulema Mushaikh conference, Khan claimed that Sharif was accountable for (Pakistan) Rs 3, 00,000 crore.

"I would like to ask the people who stood by Nawaz Sharif, don't you have to answer Allah? He is accountable for Rs 3, 00,000 crore, the money which went into the accounts of his children. Expensive flats were purchased by using his children's names. Everyone knew that he (Sharif) is lying. Everything was exposed in the (accountability) court," he said.

The cricketer-turned-politician said that Sharif had got a lot of opportunities to back away from his misdeeds and serve the country properly, but instead chose to mint huge amounts of money.
