PTI to make seat adjustments to win general election: Imran
Imran Khan on Tuesday said that PTI was making full preparations for the election.
ISLAMABAD (APP) - Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan Tuesday said his party would make seat adjustments to beat rival parties, including the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) in the general election 2018.
He said the PTI was making full preparations for the election. “I have a match with the PML-N (Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz), which is one of the major political parties in the country. I want to win the election, for which the PTI will make seat adjustments,” he added.
Imran Khan further said that PTI had made a strategy to win the next election. The people from the PPP and the PML-N were joining the PTI, he added.
Imran Khan said development funds should not be released to members of National and provincial assemblies because the same were used by the past governments as bribe. The funds meant for development works were usurped by the MNAs and MPAs, he said, adding that the PTI would abandon that practice after coming into power.
The PTI chief alleged that the Sharif brothers had tried to defame Shaukat Khanum by leveling allegations of misappropriation in its accounts, but “we offered all the concerned to investigate any corruption.”
He said the PTI had got conducted a survey in the country and according to which the party’s popularity graph was showing an upward trend. He reiterated that the PTI wanted to change the style of governance. “Its manifesto is ready and will be released in three to five days,” he said.
Imran said Pakistan had been burdened under huge debts due to weak policies of the past governments. There was need to revamp financial, educational and health system in the country. The new government should focus on providing soft loans to alleviate unemployment in the country, he suggested.
He said innocent people in the Indian held Kashmir had been facing worst state brutalities since the Modi government came into power in New Delhi. Israel and India had a nexus which was very alarming for the Muslims, he observed.
All the policies of Indian Prime Minister Narindra Modi were centered on Pakistan to get it declared a ‘terrorist state’ by the international community, he opined.
He, however, stressed that Pakistan should start dialogue process with India to address issues, including Kashmir. The people all over India were now realizing the fact that innocent Kashmiris were facing agony due to Indian policy, he added. He also pledged to highlight the Kashmir issue at all important forums.
