Ahsan Iqbal's Rangers criticism premeditated move: Imran Khan

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chairman Imran Khan has branded interior minister Ahsan Iqbal’s media talk earlier in the day today (October 2nd)a premeditated move and a hoax.
Khan addressed a press conference over the Rangers matter and branded the statement and criticism by Ahsan Iqbal a premeditated move.
PTI chief said that the political party would attempt to block the electoral reforms bill in the National Assembly. He had earlier branded failure to block the bill in the Senate an embarrassment for Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and reiterated the statement today in the press conference.
He hailed vice chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf, Shah Mehmood Qureshi the best parliamentarian and branded him the best potential opposition leader for the House.
Khan claimed that a fresh election could save the country from anymore trouble. He said that PTI would approach other political parties to check the reforms bill in the National Assembly.
He said that democracy would suffer if Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz opens its doors to criminals.
PTI chief asserted that the lawmakers were criticising the armed forces for no reason. He rhetorically asked if Prime Minister Shahid Khaqan Abbasi had the only responsibility of protecting a criminal, Nawaz Sharif.
Nowhere in the world a disqualified leader in the re-elected as the party president, Khan complained.
Electoral reforms bill
Nawaz Sharif was sacked as the president of Muslim League-Nawaz following his disqualification on July 28 by the top court in a corruption reference.
Accrording to the code of the election commission, the disqualified member could not lead a political party which is why Shehbaz Sharif was appointed the party president.
The electoral reforms bill that was approved in the Senate earlier this month paved way for his re-appointment as the party president.
A session of the National Assembly is scheduled for October 2nd to have the reforms bill approved. The session was earlier scheduled for October 4th however reportedly, the revision was made in accordance with his departure plan.
Nawaz is likely to leave for London on October 5th.
