Amid the no-confidence motion in Pakistan Parliament, Prime Minister Imran Khan addressed the nation on Thursday.During the television address, the Pakistan prime minister said: "Why did I come into politics is what I want to tell the people before anything else.""Jinnah had the stature to come to politics. I thank God as he bestowed everything on me. Today too I don't need anything," the Pakistan prime minister said."We were the first generation born in independent Pakistan. We were told since childhood how it was to be born in an independent country," PM Imran said during the address. "I came into politics because I had studied politics in college," Imran told the nation, adding, "I came into politics 25 years back for three things - justice, that is law is the same for the poor and powerful, Secondly for was humanity and honesty.""I have seen the highs and lows. I have seen Pakistan at a high when I was in school. People from South Korea and Malaysia use to come to emulate." "Then I saw Pakistan's downturn," he said, adding,"I am a Pakistani who has lived in India," he said. "Western country talked about NCM even before it came, they said they had issues with me. They said that if NCM succeeds then relations will be back on track. They said if I remain then our relations will sour more and we would have to face more difficulties," the prime minister said."The most disturbing thing in all of this that the people are in contact with the three stooges who are here, what do they(the country) want. They want the stooges to come in," he asked. "These people are convicts," he said. "I play till the last ball," he said on Sunday's vote. The cricketer-turned-politician said, "I have played cricket. Those who have played with me know I want all those against me to be seen who are doing the deal and voting.""The coming generation will not forgive you. I will fight against it. I don't have any liability. I will live in my house and the treachery that is going to happen against the nation this Sunday. Do remember all those faces," he said."This nation will not forgive you. God has given me the strength to fight back."
