ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and ousted prime minister Imran Khan on Sunday claimed that the entire nation was looking towards the institutions to intervene and make things right.
Speaking to a private TV news channel, Khan said that it was impossible for the incumbent coalition government to win the next election. “ It will also be very difficult for them to run an electioneering campaign while the PTI was working in full swing for the polls,’’ he added.
Khan said that the government registered first information reports (FIRs) against members of the PTI following the party’s “Azadi March” to Islamabad last month so that it could throw anyone it wanted behind bars.
The former prime minister also criticized the Shahbaz Sharif-led government for passing the National Accountability (Amendment) Bill, 2022 on June 9.
Commenting on the development, Khan said that the PTI will approach the Supreme Court soon.
Regarding the overall political situation of the country, the PTI chairman said that the entire nation was “looking towards the institutions to intervene and make things right.”
Answering a question about the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), Khan said that the projects “had to be halted because of the coronavirus pandemic.”
In response to another question regarding Pakistan’s relations with the United States during PTI’s tenure, Khan said that he enjoyed cordial ties with former US President Donald Trump, adding that Joe Biden’s administration was “stuck in dealing with matters related to Afghanistan”
Meanwhile talking to a delegation of lawyers hailing from the Bar Association Mian Channu, the former PM said that he would not sit quietly until the announcement of the election date.
Khan said elections are the only way forward and the solution to political and economic problems being faced by the country lies in them.
Lauding the participation of the lawyers from South Punjab in the Azadi Long March, Imran Khan said he will soon announce the date for a ‘huge’ long march towards Islamabad against the ‘imported govt’.
