Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan demanded President Asif Ali Zardari’s immediate resignation while announcing his seven-point agenda to the media on Tuesday.
“Free and fair elections cannot take place till Zardari is here. He is the reason for Pakistan’s destruction,” said Imran, adding that the president appointed three prime ministers in his tenure and all three were corrupt.
“They are usurping money through corruption and are using that money to buy the elections,” he asserted. He also alleged that the president is working against the Constitution.
Other demands of the party included an immediate announcement of date for general elections and a neutral caretaker setup which is free of “muk muka“.
Imran maintained that no change can come in Pakistan unless free and fair elections take place and a government comes through the public mandate.
The party also demanded the the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) take notice of pre-poll rigging being done by many parties on the expense of the public exchequer.
Citing news reports regarding public funds which were used for election campaigning, Imran lamented that the election commission has not replied to any of his party’s complaints. He expressed distrust on election commission officials, but expressed confidence over the chief election commissioner’s credibility.
The party chairman also called for implementation of Supreme Court’s recent order of arresting Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf in the Rental Power Plants case. “We will come out on the roads if orders are not implemented.”
Imran said: “No change can come in Pakistan unless free and fair elections take place and a government comes through the public mandate.” He is the true leader, never goes for shortcuts.
Damn right!
We want justice. Zardari should be tried for crimes against the nation. Crime of treason.
zardari have to give resignination immediately. Other wise PAKISTAN will no more QUAID’s PAKISTAN. It will be wholy distroyed…
Zardari and his cronnies appointed this known corrupt thief as the PM.
So they to should be arrested and face trial.
They shoud be tried for treason for knowingly appointing a theif as PM.
Then if found guilty they should be hanged.
Its too late Imran Khan. You should have these demands one year before when you got unprecedented response from public after your Lahore's procession. You choose a wrong direction and wasted people's and your own energy.
it is too late it should done before 2 years
I agree with other commentators here. Imran Khan blew his chance. He should have joined Dr. Qadri in his long march since their demands and ideology is the same. Now it looks like he is riding the coattail of Qadri's popularity. Every day TI workers are leaving their party and joining Dr. Qadri. I commend Dr. Qadri for taking a stand against corruption and bad governance and actually doing something about it. There are leaders and then there are followers. One can judge for him/her self who is leading and who is following by their actions. Like they say "Actions speak louder than words".
you another stupid posting your comments above
The true man and the true leader. We want Imran khan to be the next prime minister of Pakistan. Imran khan the great. I love Imran khan
Kamran u sound like an opportunists so plz stick to padri n not som1 as dignified as Imran khan
I have yet to read a single comment disputing what I had said in my comment earlier. An educated and informed person would debate the points. An uninformed, uneducated person with limited knowledge would go after the messenger since they have grasp of the points being debated.
