Lahore: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that newly-appointed Chief of Army Staff (COAS) should not continue policies of his predecessor. In a meeting with Vloggers at his Zaman Park residence here, Imran said that he never wanted to appoint Lt Gen (retd) Faiz Hameed as Army Chief, adding that propaganda campaign was launched against him.  “I never called General Bajwa former Army Chief my boss as I was Prime Minister,” he said. Imran said that National Accountability Bureau was working under an influence of establishment and it only took action against “weak”. “When we came to power, all kinds of mafias existed but we could not take action against them,” he admitted.

 Former Premier said that two families Sharif and Zardari had weakened institutions, adding that return of Suleman Shehbaz, son of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif to Pakistan was part of “NRO-two”. He said that senior journalist Arshad Sharif’s mother has named same people for killing of her son whom he had identified earlier. Imran said that FIR of gruesome incident should be registered as per version of slain journalist’s mother.

Calling overseas Pakistanis big asset of country, he said that if they invest in Pakistan, country would not need to beg anyone. “A society cannot become strong until justice is served,” he added. He said Punjab Chief Minister Pervaiz Elahi expressed confidence in him and added that latter will dissolve provincial assembly on his call.
