Establishment left PTI chief after seeing reality, says Aleem Khan

ISLAMABAD: Istehkam-e-Pakistan Party (IPP) President Aleem Khan has revealed that the establishment withdrew its support from PTI Chief after realizing that he did not live up to the image he projected.

During an interview on Aaj News program “Faisla Aap Ka”, Aleem Khan likened this revelation to seeing someone’s true face after their makeup has been washed off.

In the interview, Aleem Khan accused the Punjab government of PTI of being controlled by a group of five individuals. This group included the former army chief General (retd) Qamar Javed Bajwa, DG ISI Lt. General Faiz Hameed, Farah Gogi, Chief Minister Usman Buzdar, and Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister Azam Khan.

According to Aleem Khan, this group had connections with a major property developer in Pakistan who guaranteed Faiz Hameed’s appointment as the next chief.

He further asserted that Imran Khan had a “long plan” to retain power by making Faiz Hameed the army chief and extending his tenure if re-elected. Aleem Khan also accused Imran Khan of being well aware of the embezzlement that occurred during Buzdar government’s tenure, where substantial amounts of money were exchanged for transfers and postings.

He expressed surprise that former Chief Minister Usman Buzdar had not been arrested yet and suggested that Buzdar might reveal the details of corruption within the government if arrested.

Similar accusations were leveled against Farah Gogi, with Aleem Khan claiming that she might disclose how much corruption money went to Imran Khan.

Furthermore, Aleem Khan accused Pervez Elahi of accumulating wealth during his brief tenure as Chief Minister of Punjab and claimed that Elahi had changed his stance on becoming the Pakistan Democratic Alliance’s (PDM) candidate for chief minister after a call from Lt. General Faiz Hameed.

Despite his disappointment in Imran Khan’s choices in appointing incompetent people, Aleem Khan stated that he had no regrets about the money or effort he spent on PTI, believing it was for the betterment of the country.
