Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan reiterated on Saturday that former chief justice of Pakistan Iftikhar Chaudhry and Justice (r) Khalilur Rehman Ramday were complicit in the alleged rigging of the 2013 general elections, and that he would prove their involvement.

“I will prove his (Iftikhar Chaudhry) involvement in rigging,” Imran said, while addressing reporters upon his arrival from Saudi Arabia.

The PTI chief spoke of the role of the returning officers (ROs) in the election process, stating that they stuffed voting bags with bogus votes on the orders of the former CJP.

“I will make Iftikhar Chaudhry stand in court, and I will tell this country what a big crime he committed to this country’s democracy,” said the PTI chief.

Speaking about the defamation notice sent to him by the former CJP for Rs 20 billion, the PTI chief quipped, “I’ll take the money from his son Arsalan Iftikhar, who seems to have made quite a lot.”

“I am waiting to see the former CJP in court, because of the traitorous acts he has undertaken in demolishing the democracy of this country. He was behind the actions of the ROs,” he said. ”Do not worry Iftikhar sahib, I am ready to face you in court.”

The PTI chief also said that as soon as a judicial commission is formed with absolute power, “I predict that this will be an election year.”

He further questioned why the government was hesitant over the results of the tribunal. “Because they know they did not win fairly,” Khan stated.
