Addressing an election rally in Dharampura area of PP-158 constituency in Lahore, the former prime minister said, "I have come to Dharampura for the first time. I started politics with a few people in 26 years.
"Today I pay homage to my friend Abdul Qadir." Yes, he is not with us today. Abdul Qadir from Dharampura was the first person among my sports friends. When I started my political struggle 26 years ago, Abdul Qadir stood by me."
He said that Pakistan is the only country in the world which was built in the name of Islam. We have to pray to Allah for success. You have to go home one by one and tell us that this is not politics but jihad. Yes, do not give up, in the end success is given by Allah.
The former prime minister said that we have to defeat these looters, youth, we have to win this election, this is not a war of power but a war of all of us, these people cannot defeat us with a neutral umpire, this umpire got together. They will try to defeat us. These people have been robbing the country for 30 years. We have to fight these traitors.
Talking on EVM, Imran Khan said that he has been trying for two and a half years to make the next elections transparent. We have taken steps for transparency in the elections.
Closing the way for transparency of elections, he continued, saying that the use of EVM machine can end fraud, EVM machine is being used in India and Iran.
