Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan warned on Tuesday he will expel party MPs who oppose Conflict of Interest Bill (CoI) 2014 in the Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P) Assembly.

“Any PTI MP in K-P Assembly who opposes Conflict of Interest Bill, which is part of PTI's commitment to the nation, has no place in the party,” Imran said in one of his tweets.

The PTI chief vowed to take strict action against those MPs belonging to his party who were trying to ‘scuttle’ the bill. Imran said the party would rather sit on the opposition benches in K-P Assembly than ‘reneging’ on its core commitments to the nation.

I will take strict action against those PTI MPs trying to scuttle the Conflict of Interest Bill. 1/2

2/2 We would sit in the Opposition in KP Assembly rather than renege on our core commitments made to the nation.All PTI MPs should know this

Further, criticising the federal government, Imran alleged Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif to be ‘directly involved’ in the Nandipur scam and Model Town tragedy. “The "investigation" into the Nandipur scam is going to be a cover-up like Model Town inquiry,” claimed the PTI leader.

Shahbaz Sharif was also involved in Model Town tragedy. But PTI will not allow these cover ups.

Vowing to thwart every attempt of the federal government aimed at looting people’s money, Imran said another scam of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) has been exposed as the Supreme Court of Pakistan has taken up the CDA Lahore’s plan to convert National Agricultural Research Centre (Narc) land into lucrative housing scheme.

“Shameful how instead of boosting agriculture research to improve agriculture sector, PML-N government trying to sell off agriculture research land to housing scheme,” the PTI chairman added.

Naeem | 8 years ago | Reply Oh Adnan Siddiqui is here with his usual mindless argument....Oh yaar is your government so pathetic that you cant even catch a "know land grabber" for 7 years?

Adnan Siddiqi | 8 years ago | Reply Does awarding an election ticket to a corrupt person involved in land grabbing as a reward for that candidate investing huge sums of his ill gotten wealth on your wife's Pushto film project also constitute as Conflict of Interest? Does CM KPK and Revenue Minister Ali Amin "Gunda/Dhandla" Pur awarding LB tickets to their own brothers in Mardan and D.I. Khan and overtly involved in rigging the elections to favor their relatives, can this anomaly be also otherwise state as Conflict of Interest? You along with your parachute wife enjoys cavalcades of official KPK vehicles, police escorts and freeloading on government helicopters at taxpayers expense, does this shameless act of hypocrisy also fall in the bracket of Conflict of Interest? @London Banker and @bilal, a PML-N supporter knows what "Conflict of Interest" is without having to google it. Also a PML-N supporter is still not as big of a dimwit as an average youth (ia).
