PTI chief says would initiate campaign in support of direct elections for Senate

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday said that his party would neither vote for Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) nor Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) candidates for the post of Senate chairman.

“Both these parties have damaged democracy in the country,” Khan told a press conference. He said that both the parties were involved in politics for the sake of making money, adding that his candidates from Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) did not allow the sale of their conscience and democracy and stood beside the party.

The PTI chairman also announced to initiate a campaign in the country in support of direct elections for the Upper House of Parliament.

“A similar situation was created in the US in 1913 and they decided that senators would be elected through direct polling,” the PTI chief said. A committee of legal experts has already been formed to look into the matter, he added.

He said that the PTI did not offer Senate tickets to anyone from outside the province.

“It’s not possible that MPAs take bribes and the party leaders don’t,” said the PTI chairman, alleging that the PPP bought at least four votes in the KP Senate elections.

“I need to know how Khanzada Khan got elected as a senator and Nadeem Afzal Chan bagged excessive votes?” he questioned, while praising the media for raising voice against horse-trading in the Senate elections.

Commenting over his earlier statements regarding bribe offer for a Senate seat, Khan said the person was from outside KP and he thought bribing was the only way to get to the power corridors.

Questioning the timing of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s trip to Saudi Arabia, he said that the PM was not interested in democracy, adding that Nawaz Sharif’s visit would prove useless.

Khan repeated his threat of resorting to street protests against alleged rigging in the general elections in 2013 if his party was not provided justice by the courts of law.

He said that he would soon meet the NADRA chairman to unveil facts about rigging in NA-122 Lahore constituency.

  3. PTI is fooling everyone in Pakistan to say that Senate elections are bribed as IK is shouting every day and night that elections 2013 were rigged. This is IK strategy to put pressure of Power-Politics on PPP and PML (N) and other political forces. I see PTI as a "Chor-Machay-Shoor" tactics – IK don't have any control or political vision he lacks everything but enjoy support of media-owners and few anchors (that's how he managed too far upto now).

    Since PTI has emerged as powerful party in 2013 in KP – it has done nothing sofar except (Shouting / Yelling at others/ blaming others / and doing nothing)…. Just wonder what IK would have done this country if he had gained any support from punjab or sindh or Balochistan… He would have hanged everyone on the posts (just like Taliban did in Kabul).

    The problem is No – one trust IK:

    His own MPs does not trust IK
    His party workers does not trust IK
    Other Political Leaders does not IK
    Pak.Army does not trust IK
    Supreme Court does not trust IK
    Opposition parties does not trust IK
    Govt does not trust IK
    EDHI doest not trust IK
    Media (Sane-Owners) does not trust IK
    Media organization does not trust IK
    Lawyers Wings does not trust IK
    School Owners does not trust IK
    Police does not trust IK
    Doctors does not trust IK

    Just see who trust IK:
    TTP
    Mubashir Luqman
    Kashif Abbassi
    Nadeem Malik
    SAMMA TV Management
    Reham Khan
    Sita White
    Jemmima
    Jamat-e-Islami & like minded
    Tahir-ul-Qadri & like minded

    PTI is proving to be a curse for Pakistan – only rich and wealthy are taking advantage of this pressure-group of IK who is gaining personal benefits from popular politics – Tactics is simple "Chor-Machay-Shoor" – Pakistan nation need to open their mind and eyes and keep this goon away. He is a Power Hungary and always try to pick-pocket of others in name of Chandda / Donation / Party Support Fund / Flood Relief / Dharna waggara waggara ….
