Former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan mocked his successor Shehbaz
Sharif, saying that the latter felt intimidated in the presence of
Russian President Vladimir Putin at the recently-concluded Shanghai
Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Uzbekistan.
Addressing
a public gathering in Chakwal on Monday, Khan took a jibe at the
premier claiming that his legs were trembling in the presence of Putin
during their bilateral meeting on the sidelines of the 22nd SCO Summit,
Geo News reported.
Khan criticised Sharif for his recent foreign
trips following flood devastations in the country and said: "Look at
Shehbaz's insensitivity. He is visiting (countries) abroad during such
conditions. What battle is he going to win aboard while the country has
been flooded?"
Nitpicking the premier for his conversation with
the UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, the PTI Chairman said: "I
have not seen any prime minister talk like the way Shehbaz did with the
UN Secretary-General. He was asking him for money."
He further revealed that Guterres knows that 60 per cent of Sharif's cabinet is released on bail.
"On
what basis would he (Secretary-Ggeneral) give you money as he knows
that corruption cases are registered against the premier?" Khan queried.
The
former premier also pointed his guns at Foreign Minister Bilawal
Bhutto-Zardari denouncing him for leaving the country during a time of
crisis.
"Bilawal also went abroad. They have been imposed (on us) because he will listen to their orders," Khan added.
