Imran blasts PPP govt for taking dictation from US

Islamabad, May 8 (ANI): Taking on the Pakistan People's Party (PPP) government, cricketer-turned politician Imran Khan has criticised the country's leadership for taking dictation from the United States.

Addressing a public rally in Pabbi, Imran said the Gilani government has failed completely in addressing the issues facing the country.

"The rulers are taking dictation from the US and are unable to pursue people-friendly policies," Imran said.

"The present government has surpassed the former ruler General Pervez Musharraf in appeasing the US," he added.

Commenting on the failed Times Square bombing plot, the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf (PTI) chief said it was an attempt by the US to malign Pakistan's image.

"Faisal Shahzad has nothing to do with Pakistan as he is a US citizen and got education there. The US was using the failed bombing plot by Faisal to malign Pakistan," The News quoted mran, as saying. (ANI)
