PTI’s Sept 8 rally aimed at getting stolen mandate back, says Imran Khan
PTI founder says they want real freedom in the country as well as independent judiciary
Rawalpindi: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Founder and former Prime Minister Imran Khan said that the purpose of the rally on September 8 is to get the mandate back and to raise voice for real freedom in the country.
“Whenever there are talks of negotiations [with the establishment] they [the PML-N leaders] start mention May 9 events, it’s the insurance policy of the govt, when this will end their govt and politics both will conclude,” said Imran Khan while talking informally with the reporters at Adiala jail on Monday.
Imran Khan said, “If you really want to investigate the incident of May 9 then form a judicial commission. Whoever ordered my abduction and is involved in removing CCTV footages of May 9 riots is responsible for this incident,”.
He also said Nawaz Sharif played with his umpires but still lost while his party was not allowed to play the match. He also quoted Pattan’s reports saying that 74,000 votes were managed for Nawaz Sharif’s victory in contest with Yasmin Rashid.
Talking about the talks with the establishment, the PTI founder said that Mahmood Khan Achakzai was leading the talks, and that they [the PTI] are always ready for talks.
“We never held talks but will hold with those who are real in power and have brought them to power,” said Khan while condemning ‘fraud’ in the general elections.
He also mentioned the purposes of September 8 rally, saying that they set three targets including return of the stolen mandate to his party, to ensure real freedom for the country from the occupying group and the independent judiciary in the country.
He stated that it would be an honor for Pakistan to become the chancellor of Oxford University, even if he does not become the chancellor, it does not matter but in the country’s history, no one reached the position where he reached.
“I am the greatest social worker in Pakistan, we have built two hospitals, two universities and one university is under construction,” he added.
