General elections were rigged, 'punctured': Imran Khan
Khan urged volunteers to support government to end lawlessness and other problems.
PESHAWAR (Dunya News) – Chairman Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan said on Thursday that his party would have been the largest political power if ‘punctures’ weren’t inflicted, referring to the alleged rigging in general elections of 2013, Dunya News reported.
Addressing grand convention of Insaf Student Federation at Nishtar Hall Peshawar via video link, Imran Khan said that going to Peshawar has become difficult due to security reasons adding that he is worried about workers security more than his own.
He motivated the student federation by saying PTI will emerge as largest political party akin to gaining majority in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
He reiterated that general elections were rigged, claiming that his PTI would have been largest political force if punctures weren’t inflicted.
Khan urged volunteers to support government to end lawlessness and other problems.
PTI emerged as second largest political party in terms of number of votes; yet the party didn’t clean-sweep as opposed to its expectations. Imran Khan has termed a number of factors including alleged rigging for the outcome of general elections that took place on May 11 last year.
Khan has repeatedly highlighted reports of ‘35 punctures’ allegedly inflicted by Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Najam Sethi, reiterating his claim that Pakistan Muslim League (PMLN) influenced interim government aided the alleged rigging in general elections.
Upon Najam Sethi’s reappointment as PCB chairman, Imran Khan claimed Sethi is being rewarded for his ‘puncture service’.
