Imran Khan - Leave the tribal to fight the militants

The PTI chairman Imran Khan talking to Al-Jazeera English claimed that he can solve the issue of tribal areas, the militancy going on there just in 90 days. Answering to a question he said that actually there is no militant Taliban in Pakistan.

They are the tribal men that raised up against the military operations in their villages. He said that Pakistan army went there in 2004 and started operations there and a lot of innocent tribal people, children and women too got killed. That is the reason that the people joined the militants and now fighting against the army. We lost 40000 people and 70m dollars in this war which is not our war, it a US war.

He said that if drone attacks and military operations are stopped there. Then there will no Jihad and no militancy. Because Jihad is fought against the foreign occupation. He said that there are almost 10 or 15 thousand militants while the number of tribal armed people is one million.

Imran Khan told the way to solve this problem:
"To win the war, win the tribal people to our side and leave them to fight the militants. The war will be over in 30 days or maximum in 90 days."
Pak-US Relationship:
Talking about the Pak-US relationship Imran Khan said that we want only friendly relationship with US. US nowadays pays us to fight against our people but we cant do it more. He said that US drones increases militancy in which still 80% innocent people died. That's why tribal people joined the militants.

Corruption:
Imran Khan pointed out corruption the basic problem of Pakistan. He said that corruption is destroying Pakistan. When Asif Ali Zardari became president corruption broke all the records. Imran Khan answered a question that if he come in power he will make possible an independent judiciary which we have. He said that a real and clare accountability is must for Pakistan. But now accountability is a part of the government. So they cannot check corruption in the government.

He said that he is the only politician that has earned abroad and his assets are in Pakistan. He again challenged other politicians to declare their assets. He said in the interview that first the political class must declare their assets then others to pay all the taxes.

Pakistani Media:
Imran Khan appreciated Pakistani electronic media. He said that we have a vibrant media. We have eight current affairs programs. Our media has the highest rating. Due to our electronic media our people are now politically aware. He said that "A public that understands the issues is very important for democracy". And have it because of our media. So thanks to media.
