'Laanath' is a mild word to use for parliament, asserts Imran Khan
Khan also announced to hold a press conference in the afternoon.
ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) - Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief on Thursday stood by his remarks related to parliament saying that "laanath" is a mild word to use for parliament.
Taking to twitter, the PTI chief maintained that parliament is liable to protect nation’s interests but the law passed in the House for a disqualified person is a “laanath” on it.
When a Parliament, which must protect nation s interests, passes a person-specific law allowing a disqualified person guilty of Rs 3 bn money laundering, tax evasion, concealment of assets, forgery & perjury to become head of a pol party, then such a law is a "laanath" on Parl.

He challenged that most of the people will also condemn such a parliament if a poll is held in the context.
In fact in this specific context "laanath" is a mild word to use. If anyone disagrees, I challenge them to do a public poll on what ppl think of such a Parliament. I can guarantee most will condemn it. https://t.co/ZbaH06m1xt

PTI chief had uttered the same word a day earlier when he was addressing the party workers at Mall Road Lahore.
“Curse upon the parliament that legislates for re-election of an alleged criminal as a head of a political party,” he said.
In a dramatic tone, Khan announced to hold a press conference in the afternoon in which he will be making shocking revelations.
Fasten your seatbelts as I will be making explosive revelations in my press conference this afternoon!
