Aslam Iqbal accuses PML-N, PPP of stealing people’s mandate

Peshawar: Leader of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) and nominated Chief Minister of Punjab Mian Aslam Iqbal Wednesday said that Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) have stolen the mandate of the people. They should return the seats in the federation and provinces.

Talking to the media in Peshawar, he stated: ‘I have appeared for bail, illegal cases have been made against me. Whoever has done wrong must be punished, however if someone has not committed anything wrong, there should be no illegal cases’.

Different cases were filed in May 9 incident. I had left Lahore on May 7 after getting bail from Anti-Terrorism Court (ATC). There is no footage of me or phone call which shows my involvement in the arson, he added.

Aslam continued to say that only speak for justice. It has been 25 years since he has been contesting the election. He was told that he gunned down people. Many cases were filed against him, thanking Peshawar High Court (PHC) for granting bail.

Mian Aslam Iqbal said that there is only one vote and that is for PTI founder Imran Khan, and no one else. Please take care of the mandate of the people. They rejected the Form-45 and accepted Form-47.

They have been tested before, it is Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM-2) there is no relief for public. PML-N and PPP destroyed every institution, they have not done anything in 16 months that they will do now, continued PTI leader.

Aslam Iqbal further stated that when there are elections, they talk about each other’s corruption and then sit together. PTI has done a clean sweep in Lahore and Rawalpindi.

He added that PML-N is asking to join hands with them, otherwise the notification of our victory will not be issued. Stealing the votes will not work anymore. It is request to PML-N, the caretaker government and the Election Commission to accept the mandate of the people. Let us govern now, returning our seats in the federation and provinces.
