Rejecting the impression of ISI’s support for establishing his party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said that he would quit politics if anyone could prove he had taken money from Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
While interviewing to an Indian daily, the cricketer-turned-politician stated, “I will quit politics if anyone can prove I have taken one rupee from the ISI.”
Replying to another query, he said that he would declare jihad to save Pakistan and will disarm all militants group operating in the country.
Speaking to Mail Today, Khan also spoke on the issue of terrorism in Pakistan saying that terror leaders could be transformed.
He noted, “I am sure they can be put into nation building, human beings can change. I will make them realize that militancy is not a solution.”
Khan, who is currently present in India to attend the World Economic Forum in Gurgaon, said that he would bring the culprits behind Mumbai attacks to justice, if he is made the prime minister of Pakistan.
Assuring that as the prime minister, he would ensure that terrorism does not stem from the Pakistani soil, saying, “India must understand the legal process takes time, but I will bring the Mumbai perpetrators to justice. We have to follow the rule of law.”
According to the paper, the former captain during the interview was quite confident of winning the elections. “I have created the only democratic party in Pakistan. We are now preparing for a democratic tsunami,” he added.
Commenting about Pakistan’s relationship with India, he said he was in favour of a new relationship, adding that all these years we have had a relationship which was detrimental to the entire subcontinent.
Urging that there was a need for leadership of both countries to take on vested interests, he said that young people were tired of the continuing hostility between the two countries.
He continued that a military solution could not help resolve the Kashmir issue and said that as the Pakistani premier, he will take the peace initiative.
He opined, “It can be resolved. I will work on a road map by making people from India, Pakistan and Kashmiris look for a solution by sitting on a table. India is using troops in Kashmir. They are losing the battle of heart and minds. It’s like treating cancer with dispirin.”

PML N has bad reputation of telling lies and false allegations on other parties. Now the SC ruling has proved that 1990 elections were rigged. In that election, establishment and ISI has given money to politicians of that time. Nawaz Sharif who became prime minister as result of those rigged elections has now no moral ground to face public.
