“The July 17 by-elections will decide the future of the country and we have to save the country from American slavery by winning the election,” Imran said.

Taking a swipe at PML-N supremo, Imran Khan said that Nawaz Sharif did nothing honestly in his life because he came to the power through corruption and made wealth through corruption.

"Our competition is with Sharif family, turncoats and Election commission,” PTI chairman said.

Criticizing the Chief Election Commissioner, the former PM said the PTI government tried to end the rigging by introducing EVM but bigwigs and CEC opposed the EVM due to fear of transparent elections, adding that two families are ruling Pakistan for 35 years but on Sunday we will defeat them and end their rule.
