  • PTI chief announces rallies for Mianwali and Multan as he addresses mammoth crowd at Lahore’s Minar-e-Pakistan
  • Khan says PTI will not end sit-ins until prime minister resigns, reiterates objections on alleged election fraud

Thousands of people responded to Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI)’s call for a Jalsa (political rally) at Lahore’s Minar-e-Pakistan where they were served with PTI Chairman Imran Khan’s ‘much repeated’ objections on last year’s elections, wrapped in a festive fervour and topped with beats brimming with patriotism.

Reiterating points that have been raised many times over the last 45 days, PTI leaders delivered speeches Sunday that meandered from personal narratives to catchy anti-government slogans, but offered little in the way of substance or strategy, beyond the announcement that yet more protests would be held – this time in Mianwali on Thursday, followed by Multan.

“By the grace of Allah Almighty, the Pakistani nation has been awakened to raise voice against the discrimination of their rights by ruling elite class. The credit goes to PTI which has unveiled the true face of democracy, rejecting monarchy,” the PTI chief said, addressing the huge gathering of charged PTI supporters.

Khan told his supporters that the party’s anti-government protests would continue until Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resigned. He said that Sharif should resign till a probe into election rigging charges was completed, adding that he would apologise if his rigging allegations were proven wrong.

The PTI chairman said that a case had been initiated against the prime minister for lying on the floor of Parliament. Khan claimed that this was not the first time Sharif had lied as he had previously lied about an agreement with former president Gen ® Pervez Musharraf but the deal had later been exposed by a Saudi prince.

Moreover, Khan said that the Supreme Court would take up Ishaq Khakwani’s petition seeking disqualification of Prime Minister for lying.

“PTI movement began with a single point about election’s probe. I have been saying since day one that we will take to streets after exercising all legal options. I have come to this conclusion that Pakistan’s law is a hurdle in dispensation of justice. We cannot get justice through a proper forum.”

The cricketer-turned-politician also said that according to the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) computers were shut down after the victory speech of Sharif as alleged by Khan on May 11.

Khan also alleged that Returning Officers (ROs) had issued hand-written poll results without actual counting. He claimed the ROs had been under the control of former chief justice of Pakistan Justice ® Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as part of the rigging effort.

Khan further said that the ECP had not issued form XIV on its website and a failure to do so suggested that the ECP was involved in poll-rigging along with Sharif and Chaudhry.

Earlier, Awami Muslim League (AML) President Sheikh Rasheed and PTI’s Shah Mehmood Qureshi made jibes at the government and Nawaz Sharif, working the crowd for the moment thousands of the PTI faithful had been waiting for –Khan’s “very important” speech, which turned out to be a rehash of rhetoric shared atop the Red Zone container over the past few weeks.

But now it will change for the better! Jamat Islami is working with KPK Govt, next it will come to all Pakistan, Go Nawaz Go

    • You certainly are not sensible, that is for sure.
      Let's keep the corruption and the looting of Pakistan and it's people by Nawaz and his group. Let's keep the target killings, the land grabs, the extortion, the load shedding, the sectarian violence, the murders of our best doctors, the poverty, the poor education. Let those that live in Karachi be afraid to take a walk after dark. Afraid to take the same route home everyday for fear of being robbed, afraid of a traffic stop and seeing motorcyclists come near their car. Let's keep the same corrupt leaders who have billions of dollars stashed in London and Dubai while Pakistani's are struggling to move ahead one step. Leaders living like kings while the infrastructure of the country, the tax system,law and order have fallen by the wayside. Your thought process belongs back in the 16th century. If Pakistan listened to the likes of you, you won't have to worry about "Girls openly dancing in the streets"…..there will be no streets to dance in because Pakistan will become a barren wasteland of lost hope and failed dreams. GO NAWAZ GO!!!
