Imran Khan warns of mass protests if justice denied to PTI

LAHORE: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, Thursday threatened countrywide protests if the constitutional and legal channels denied justice to his party, Geo News reported.

Addressing a ceremony here in Samanabad, Khan said that those who rigged the polls to come to power could not keep even a single promise they made earlier.

“Tell me, what a government, which failed to end load shedding within the promised period of six months, will do in the next five years. Nothing”, said he.

He also added how could those whose own hoards of money were deposited in foreign bank accounts dare to repatriate President Asif Ali Zardari's millions of dollars from Switzerland.

"They are following "you scratch my back, I scratch your back" principle" as there is always honour among thieves, said Khan.

Imran Khan further said that an independent judiciary was the cornerstone of a strong democracy, but in the same breath lamented that the law was treating Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf differently.
