Zardari who sold tickets in black became billionaire: Imran

HYDERABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan said on Tuesday that his party was not battling against individuals but corruption and the biggest disease plaguing Sindh was the Pakistan People's Party Co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari.

Addressing a public meeting here, Imran said that nowhere in the country was corruption as rampant as it was in Sindh. The money that should be spent on education and healthcare of the people of Sindh is sent to Dubai where it is being used to build palaces, he added. He said Zardari who sold tickets in black became a billionaire, adding mockery has been made of the country by bringing Bilawal Bhutto in politics.

Imran Khan said corrupt leaders like Asif Ali Zardari and Nawaz Sharif would not have been exonerated if the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) was powerful.

"After Nawaz we are coming after Zardari," said Imran as he lashed out at the PPP co-chairman and former president at a rally in Hyderabad. "Zardari must be sent to jail for corruption."

Accusing former prime minister Nawaz Sharif and Asif Ali Zardari of being partners in corruption, he said that both the leaders shook hands on the pretext of Charter of Democracy.

Taking a jibe at PPP Chairperson Bilawal Bhutto Zardari, the PTI chief said that Bilawal has done nothing to deserve the position he holds. "Why Bilawal does not ask his aunt (Faryal Talpur) why each job in Sindh is sold," Imran questioned, adding that deep-rooted corruption in the Sindh government had hindered progress in the province.

The PTI will ensure a complete redressal of the education system, so the masses can be educated. The PTI chief said his party was raising an awareness among the masses about corruption. We need the people of Sindh to take a stand against corruption, he remarked.

News Desk adds: Reacting to the PTI chief's diatribe, PPP leader Saeed Ghani said: "Imran does not remain in senses after sunset and he is addressing the remaining rallies of his political career".

He also alleged the PTI chairman of trying to hide behind his former wife Jemima Goldsmith. "Imran would believe even if someone tells him that Saeed Ghani owns one million acres of land," the PPP leader said.

Unique home that sits on US-Canada border

Unique home that sits on US-Canada border TORONTO: Selling a home in two countries is proving to be a challenge for the owners as it requires security clearance from both Canada and the United States. A 1782 fixer-upper with thick granite walls, 1950s decor, and armed 24-hour security provided by both two big countries are one of the major attractions for the buyers. The almost 7,000-square-foot house, cut into five currently vacant apartments, is on a lot of less than a quarter-acre that, along with the building itself, straddles the border between Beebe Plain, Vermont, and Stanstead, Quebec. The structure that has an estimated rebuild cost of about $600,000, is on the market for $109,000. It's structurally sound but needs lots of work. An inside view shows tape on the floor upstairs to indicate which side belongs to Canada and the United States. The house was originally built by a merchant in order to facilitate sales to farmers in both Vermont and Quebec. It ...

US warplanes fly off North Korea coast in new show of force

US warplanes fly off North Korea coast in new show of force WASHINGTON: US bombers and fighter escorts flew off the coast of North Korea Saturday in a show of force against its nuclear weapons program, escalating already sky-high tensions. The hermit state´s foreign minister, meanwhile, assailed US President Donald Trump at the United Nations, deriding him as a "mentally deranged" leader whose threats had increased the chances of military confrontation. Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un have exchanged increasingly bellicose rhetoric in recent days, as international alarm mounts over Pyongyang´s weapons ambitions -- including a hint this week that the country is considering detonating an H-bomb over the Pacific. US bombers have carried out similar flights before, as the United States and the international community struggle to rein in North Korea´s weapons programs. But in a new stage for such show of force operations, the Pentagon stressed this w...
