Former prime minister Imran Khan has said that the US did not fulfil its responsibility against the anti-PTI measures in Pakistan, adding that America has always patronized and imposed dictators and installed corrupt people as rulers.
This was conveyed by PTI leader Barrister Saif while speaking to the media outside Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi, along with senior party leader Asad Qaiser. Both apparently held a meeting with party Founder Imran Khan.
Saif said Imran Khan had sent a special message for the US, which he wanted to be highlighted and given as much weight as possible. He quoted Imran Khan as saying that the US did not fulfil its duty against the anti-PTI measures, adding that America has always patronized and imposed dictators and installed corrupt people as rulers.
Imran Khan was further quoted as saying that this was an opportunity for the US to rectify its past actions, adding that Washington should keep an eye on election rigging in Pakistan.
“It is America’s responsibility to raise its voice on the transparency of elections in Pakistan,” Imran was quoted as saying by Barrister Saif.
Moreover, Asad Qaiser also said there was concern over Washington’s silence on alleged rigging in the recent general election.
“America acts like the voice of democracy in the whole world, but both the US and Europe have maintained silence on rigging in the elections in Pakistan,” he stressed.
He further said that they wanted to remind the US and Europe of their responsibility and that the basic democratic rights of the people of Pakistan were being stolen. “We want the rule of law and the Constitution,” he remarked.
Qaiser also urged the chief justice of Pakistan to take notice of the alleged rigging, saying that representation of the people was the right of those who got votes.
