Imran Khan threatens PM with his next plan

LAHORE: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan Monday said Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif is only left with two choices: either constitute the proposed Judicial Commission or brace himself to face a situation where it will be impossible for him to run the government.

Addressing the PTI demonstrators who came out in big numbers in Lahore as part of their ongoing anti-government protest, Imran Khan said in case the JC is not formed his party would have no other choice but to take to the streets. “The JC can be set up within 48 hours,” he added.

He also warned the Prime Minister to come to the dialogue table or else his youth is ready to put into motion his next plan.

Imran Khan once again accused the candidates of PML-N of hiding behind the stay orders, as ‘they are scared of vote recount’. “If the candidates of Mian Sahab have really won the election why do they appear so threatened at the mention of vote recount?” he asked.

He said his party only wants the perpetrators behind ‘election rigging’ to be held to account.

The PTI chief said had anyone stood up against the rigging in elections 30 years ago, it would have saved him the effort he was making today to get the system right. “Our protest will pave the way for a transparent democracy in future,” he argued.

Imran Khan reiterated his orders for the defiant workers of his party to respect the media persons. Without the media coverage, he said, the PTI cannot reach its destination. “There should be no disrespect of any woman. We have to protest the media,” he said.

The PTI Chief once again let out a stream of unfounded allegations against Mir Shakil-ur-Rahman.
