Lahore: Former Prime Minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan Monday announced to stage a countrywide protest today (Tuesday) against the appointment of Caretaker Chief Minister Punjab Mohsin Raza Naqvi.

Addressing from Zaman Park Lahore via video link, Imran Khan said that democracy is based on ethics and has moral standards.

He said that the democracy standards have declined so much that no one has confidence that the government can hold transparent elections. The main reason for the caretaker government is its neutrality.

“We nominated Nasir Khosa considering that they would also like him, Ahmed Sukhira is the cabinet secretary at the moment, we thought there would be no objection about him as well,” Imran stated adding that Naveed Akram Cheema had also been the secretary of Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif, but they rejected all our names.

PTI chairman acknowledged that in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (JUI) named Azam Khan as caretaker chief minister who is an honest man and we accepted it.

Khan further said, “I have not seen such dishonest Election Commission in my life. It gives all the decisions against us. It deliberated selected Mohsin Naqvi as caretaker CM Punjab,” stating that everyone knows that he is an enemy to PTI.

He alleged that Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif and former president Asif Ali Zardari stole vehicles from Tosha Khana.

The former prime minister said that behind the appointment of Mohsin Naqvi, there are people who have marked my name with a thorn.

The former cricketer claimed, they know that they cannot defeat Imran Khan in a fair and transparent election, but trying to defeat Imran Khan in any way. Mohsin Naqvi will bring our opposing police officers and bureaucrats against us.
