PTI to fly solo in general elections: Imran
Imran says his 9-year stance of avoiding war against Taliban has been vindicated.
CHAKWAL: Talking to Dunya News, PTI chief Imran Khan said that ideological parties could adopt joint stance with Pakistan Tehreek-e Insaf.
He said that the general elections cannot be free and transparent in the presence of President Asif Ali Zardari.
Imran said that the appointments in the Election Commission were also made on political basis and PPP and PML-N had the same agenda of loot and corruption.
He said free and transparent polls would secure the future of Pakistan, and his party did not want delay in the upcoming general elections.
Earlier, addressing a public gathering in Choa Saidan Shah and party workers convention in Chakwal, Imran Khan said that his nine-year stance of avoiding war against Taliban was vindicated, while earlier he had been branded as Taliban Khan.
He said that a similar situation occurred during Musharraf’s regime, when he (Imran Khan) resisted Musharraf’s regime’s endeavors to end troops to FATA; whence Musharraf also branded him as “clean-shaved terrorist”.
“Today I stand vindicated, that Pakistan was pushed into am unwilling war, making America’s war its own”, he declared.
The PTI chief also lambasted President Asif Ali Zardari for developing a massive luxurious palace in Lahore, while also questioning Zardari’s tax returns and his source of immense wealth.
On the occasion, Imran Khan announced that party elections would be finalized by 16th March, after which he would celebrate the democracy celebrations at Minar-e-Pakistan with millions of his supporters.
He also stressed on ensuring taxation’s scope as one of steps for ending corruption.
