Lahore (HRNW) Dissident PTI MPA and former senior minister Abdul Aleem Khan has challenged PTI chief Imran Khan for a TV debate, a day after the former prime minister levelled allegations against him.
Speaking to reporters on Friday, Aleem Khan also made some startling revelations about Imran Khan and Farah Khan, a close friend of Imran’s wife Bushra Bibi.
Aleem proposed that he, another dissident PTI leader Jahangir Khan Tareen and Imran Khan should participate in a debate on TV, so that people could know the truth.
Aleem Khan on Friday refuted claims made by the former prime minister.
He began by saying that he had watched the podcast interview given by Khan, who claimed that Aleem Khan wanted to legalized 300 acres of land in Lahore.
Aleem said that he wanted to say “categorically” that when he joined Imran Khan in 2010, he already owned the said development society with its 300 acres of land that he had purchased from a third party and the previous owners had already obtained all the approvals for the society when he bought it.
Aleem Khan said that when his father passed away, Imran Khan visited him in the same society.
“If I knew that I should support Imran Khan in 2010 because he was going to become the prime minister in 2018 and then I would buy 300 acres of land and get it legalized, then it must mean that I have an extraordinary broad vision that I knew [everything] eight or ten years beforehand,” he said sarcastically.
Aleen Khan said that he owned a total of 3,000 acres of land in the project and none of that land was “acquired” through government authorities. Instead, it was purchased from local farmers, who sold it under their free will to various owners, he said.
“Whether that was 3,000 acres of land or 10,000 acres, not a single inch was state owned. Neither there were any shamilat (common property) nor a single inch of state land,” he said.
