Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has announced launching a countrywide movement against alleged rigging in general elections after Eid-ul-Fitr from Balochistan.
Addressing the media in Rawalpindi after meeting PTI founder Imran Khan in Adiala jail on Thursday, party leader Asad Qaiser said a first rally would be held in Pishin district as part of the protest movement and a meeting to review arrangements for the rally would be held at Balochistan National Party Chairman Akhtar Mengal’s house on April 12 in Quetta.
PTI leader and former information minister Shibli Faraz said the masses gave the PTI a full mandate which was stolen. However, he said, they had to continue their fight in the court.
“We must differentiate between the people possessing Form 45 and Form 47.” he said adding that the influx of investment in the country was stopped and brain drain was taking place.
Mentioning Senate elections’ delay in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the PTI leader asked whether the KP was being victimised for giving a heavy mandate to a party.
He said his party wanted supremacy of the constitution and law in Pakistan. They would not let Pakistan become a banana republic, he said adding that the role of the chief justice was crucial amid current situation.
PTI’s MNA and Leader of the Opposition in the National Assembly Omar Ayub said former first lady Bushra Bibi was not a weakness of Imran but she was his strength.
He apprised media that a medical check-up of Bushra Bibi would be conducted to check for poisoning.
