'Help me take down Sindh's pharaoh': After Nawaz, Imran Khan sets sights on Zardari
[DAWN] Pakistain Tehrik-e-Insaf...a political party in Pakistan. PTI was founded by former Pakistani cricket captain and philanthropist Imran Khan. The party's slogan is Justice, Humanity and Self Esteem, each of which is open to widely divergent interpretations.... (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan  ... aka Taliban Khan, who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems... appeared to have former president and PPP leader Asif Ali Zardari in his crosshairs as he addressed a public gathering in Sukkur on Friday, calling on the people of the province to come out onto the streets and end the reign of "Sindh's pharaoh". Although Khan continued his criticism of ousted premier Nawaz Sharif ... served two non-consecutive terms as prime minister, heads the Pakistain Moslem League (Nawaz). Noted for his spectacular corruption, the 1998 Pak nuclear test, border war with India, and for being tossed by General Musharraf... at the gathering, the focus of his attention was Zardari. "A pharaoh in Sindh will also soon be asking 'Why was I removed?'," he said, referring to an oft-repeated refrain by ousted PML-N leader Nawaz Sharif after his disqualification from holding public office. "But Zardari does not put on an act. He will know why he was removed, and he will leave without a fuss," he vowed. "When the head of Sindh steals, he cannot stop others from stealing. He corrupts the whole system from top to bottom," Khan asserted, asking the crowd to come out and "take down" Zardari with him, and to usher in a new era for the province.
