Shah says he will leave politics if Imran becomes able to implement

RECORDER REPORT

ISLAMABAD: Opposition leader in National Assembly Syed Khursheed Shah announced on Monday that he would leave politics if Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan becomes able to implement his 100-day plan.

On Sunday, Imran Khan presented his party's 100-day plan - the purpose of which he said was to change pre-existing policies.

"If he [Imran] completes the 100-day plan, I will leave politics," Shah told reporters.

Shah said the plan was not practical, terming it an election gimmick. "It is the right of every party to present its program, but there should be some facts in it. Imran Khan had a province where he could implement some of the things he has mentioned."

Responding to Imran Khan's claim of creating 10 million jobs, Shah said the PTI chairman had not even provided jobs to 5,000 people in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the last five years. "What is this new thing he has created in the model which he can implement in 100 days?"

Shah termed PTI's call for the formation of south Punjab province as just election slogan. "Only the PPP during the last five years had raised the issue of south Punjab province," he added.
