Chairman PTI Imran Khan Speech In Jhang Jalsa | 15 July 2018
Here are some excerpts from the speech:
"How can decisions for the people of Jhang be made by the monarchs of Lahore. To quote an example; Shahbaz Sharif decided to make a metro in Multan. Worth 7bn. But the people of Multan wanted other basics. But Shahbaz imposed a 7 billion metro on Multan; it’s running empty and on losses and even today the people of Multan are saying that we never needed this. But the decision was made by commission making monarchs in Lahore. If there was a proper local body system, the elected body of Multan would have made decisions as to where funds for them should have been spent.
The further you go from Lahore, the more poverty and deprivation you see. Anywhere in Punjab, you see; no clean water, no employment. Half of Punjab’s development budget of over 600bn is spent on Lahore. The change we talk of is a totally grassroots system where development funds go to the local bodies, the way we have done in KP. 30 percent development funds go to district governments. Even villages in KP have their own elected councils and they decide where their funds are to be spent. So the solution to people’s problems is not favors bestowed by self-proclaimed kings.
It is your right to have educational institutions and technical colleges so that the youth have employment opportunities. It is your right to have entrepreneurial opportunities for the youth. Our plan for creating new housing, for example, will develop entrepreneurial opportunity and job opportunities for young people. When an empowered local body system will be implemented, you will be able to make your own decisions... the way it happens the world over! We will also work towards curbing inflation. Can we currently stop the rupee from falling? Which is making everything expensive? I want you to ask me how we will do this!
Will I fix the police system? You just need to see what we did with the police system in KP. This is one of the biggest changes we will work towards. See in KP today; not once have I had a complaint about fake FIR’s and victimization. There is a depoliticised police and it has resulted in a fall in both crime and terrorism. Punjab police is standing in front of me today; I promise you we will bring change for all of you. The way people were killed in model town. Have u ever heard of this happening in functional societies? Shahbaz Sharif used the police to kill our own people.
Talk of even one incident where the police were used to hurt political victims in KP. Just even one incident in the last 5 years. We will show you how to collect revenue from the people of Pakistan itself. All my election reps are here today; this time I want you to forget personal relations and rise above them and vote for ideology. Vote for the bat. You have 9 days left. The way people have come out for PTI; InshAllah after 1970 this is going to be a landmark election where those who ruled for 30 years and destroyed this country will be defeated.
