Imran says coalition govt wants to rig Punjab by-elections with ECP's help
The PTI chief slammed the government for its tyrannical attitude during PTI’s long march toward Islamabad
Rawalpindi: PTI Chairman Imran Khan claimed Wednesday that the Shehbaz-led government wanted to rig the upcoming Punjab by-elections with the help of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP).
Addressing a ceremony in Rawalpindi, the former prime minister said the incumbant rulers wanted to rig by-polls to "prolong" their rule in the province.
"They [rulers] are playing political games just to get NRO-II Earlier," he said adding Pakistan’s most populous province was in complete political chaos.
The PTI stalwart asked party workers to get ready for his next march call, telling them to raise awareness about the "sensitivity of the ongoing crisis" in the country.
“PTI workers will not bow their heads before anyone except Allah Almighty,” he said.
Khan slammed the coalition government for its tyrannical attitude during PTI’s long march toward Islamabad.
“Our people were shelled and brutalized just like Kashmiris are facing oppression in the occupied territory.”
He said that innocent children and women were affected by teargassing and peaceful protestors were attacked like criminals and terrorists by the police force.
Lambasting the government over inflation, he said exports had dropped significantly over the last few weeks.
The former premier highlighted that early and transparent election could save the country from more economic destruction.
