Judicial commission
Imran also spoke about Friday’s agreement between his party and the ruling PML-N. “The government’s acquiescence to form a judicial commission to investigate rigging in the 2013 elections is an historic milestone,” he said.
The PTI chief claimed that all elections held since the 1970s had been rigged – but no one ever pushed the government to investigate vote fraud allegations. “The PTI staged an unprecedented three-month-long dharna against rigging in the 2013 elections which ultimately forced the government to agree to the formation of a judicial commission,” he added.
“This is the first time in the history of Pakistan that a judicial commission will probe electoral fraud allegations,” he said. “Our party will present before the commission undeniable proof of rigging in the 2013 elections.”
Speaking on the occasion, K-P Chief Minister Pervaiz Khattak asked his party workers to prepare for the upcoming local government elections. “The PTI youth should start canvassing from today to ensure victory for their party.”
At the public gathering, a former PML-N lawmaker, Malik Nasir Khan, announced joining the PTI. Rowdy scenes were also witnessed at the gathering when the police tried to stop some PTI workers from proceeding towards the stage after Imran Khan and Pervaiz Khattak climbed onto it. The police clubbed the workers in order to restore order.
