PTI to stage countrywide protests if poll rigging not probed: Khan

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Thursday said his party would take to the streets if their demand of investigation of the rigging in the May 11 elections through thumbprint verification was not met.

Addressing party workers in PP-148, Khan said after acceptance of his application by the election tribunal in the National Assembly constituency NA-122, the winning candidate Ayaz Sadiq, now the NA speaker, had obtained a stay order.

“Why is Ayaz Sadiq hiding behind the stay order if he has won the election through free and fair mean?” Imran asked.

He said the Supreme Court should not to limit itself to four constituencies and investigation should be carried out through fingerprint verification. He said if the PTI was proved wrong after the investigation, it will accept its defeat.

He asked how was it possible that 8,000 votes were polled at a polling station where the number of registered voters was only 1,500.

The PTI chief said the party would continue to raise its voice for its rights and if its demands were not met, then a countrywide protest movement would be launched.

“Those rulers who came to power through corruption cannot end corruption,” Khan said.
