After putting on a successful show of street power in the provincial capital of Punjab on Sunday, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Monday that he would consider an alliance with the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) if its president Nawaz Sharif made his assets public.
He told reporters at Allama Iqbal International Airport before leaving for China on a three-day visit that he could talk to Nawaz Sharif for an alliance if he declared his assets correctly and honestly. He said the country had transformed and a mass revolution was near. The PTI leader said the people would now forget past revolutions because a new one was knocking on the country’s door. He also predicted that general elections could be held any time after March. He invited honest politicians to join the PTI to “shatter the demons of fear” and come forward for Pakistan’s sovereignty. He said the parties playing “musical chairs” for power had now vanished as they had been exposed before the people.
Imran said a blow had been dealt to the status quo slapped on the country for ages, evident from the amount of people who showed up for the PTI rally on Sunday. Imran, who was quite confident after flexing his political muscles in Lahore, told reporters that his party had set up a cell to collect details of politicians’ assets and as soon as it had enough material, it would approach the Supreme Court and the Election Commission of Pakistan for action.
