Summary Imran Khan said he is facing life threats but he will not deter his struggle to curb corruption.
In an interview with a foreign newspaper, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khan claimed that his life is in danger but said he is not afraid as he wants to die like a lion.I am facing life threats but it will not deter me from leading my ‘tsunami to uproot corruption and the corrupt from the country for I have strong belief in Allah and the people of Pakistan, Khan told Gulf News at a reception in Dubai.Khan, who is making headlines for his historic public rallies in Lahore and Karachi, believes that he can eradicate corruption within 90 days and make Pakistan self-reliant without any foreign aid but critics say it is the thinking of an immature politician.However, Khan has his reasoning. Fifty per cent of corruption will end when you have an honest prime minister [like Imran Khan] and the 25 per cent of corruption will go with honest ministers in the cabinet and the rest of the 25 per cent will [be eliminated through] good governance, reforms and policies with a good team to implement them, he said.Khan, who is chief of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), has promised people that he will introduce the best reforms across all walks of life with the best team to implement them should his party win the next elections.People want change and we have the match-winning team to win and create a new Pakistan devoid of corruption through the silent revolution in Pakistan, the cricketer-turned-politician said.
