Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Tuesday announced that the PTI would hold protest demonstration against the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) outside its office on daily basis from Thursday onward for its failure to hold free and fair election. Addressing the participants of the sit-in at D-Chowk on Tuesday, he said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had 'ample experience of corruption' adding that power theft was being compensated with the hard-earned money of poor masses.
The PTI Chairman sarcastically remarked: "Our President is missing; we don't know where he is?" He said that the PPP was also doing nothing, but looting and making money in the name of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto. Imran Khan said that poverty in interior Sindh and Balochistan cannot be even imagined, adding "I have never seen such alarming poverty anywhere."
Talking about Balochistan, Imran Khan said that the province got gas some 50 years after its discovery. In such circumstances, what Baloch people will do except protesting for their rights, he questioned. He said that Balochistan was constantly being ignored, saying "we did the same mistake in East Pakistan." He said that the world had never witnessed such a peaceful protest for 76 days, as was held at D-Chowk. Revealing details of audit report in NA-154 (Jahangir Tareen's constituency) Chairman Imran Khan said that 20,601 votes were cast on invalid CNICs.
"It took one-and-a-half-year to investigate my Lahore's constituency, no record of 60 out of 115 polling stations was found," he maintained. "Now we are going to hold protest demonstration against the ECP regularly. It was ECP's responsibility to hold free, fair and transparent elections and give us justice," Imran Khan added. Talking about former Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry, Imran Khan said that he was ready to face him in the court.
