Speaking to news hounds at the Lahore airport on his return from Quetta, the PTI chief called for the demilitarisation of Siachen area, saying that both countries are bearing huge losses due to this war front. However, a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth... Khan said that withdrawal from the front should be from both sides and not unilateral. Speaking about the tragic air crash near Islamabad that led to the deaths of all 127 on board, Khan urged for the impartial and free investigations of the incident. Criticising the Pakistain people's Party (PPP) government, the former cricketer said that Pakistain was "ruled by Zardari" and anyone could do anything with the help of bribery.
