Addressing a political rally in Hafizabad city in Punjab province, Khan said the nation would stand against elements trying to topple his government through "buying the conscience of the lawmakers using money."
He said Pakistan was going to become a great country in the remainder of his term, adding that the incentives announced by his government would yield results soon.
