Won t let govt function if we don t get justice by Nov 30:
Imran Khan Pakistan Tehreek-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has warned off the government that if PTI does not get justice until November 30 then it would be difficult for the government to function.
He expressed these views while addressing the PTI rally in Nankana Sahib on Wednesday.
He said that the Prime Minister (PM) has misunderstood the meaning of ‘Go Nawaz Go’, adding, go Nawaz go does not mean going to China, Germany and now London on extravagant tours.
The government had agreed upon five to six demands of the PTI during talks, Khan said, adding that the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) does not have the capability to run the country. He said that Federal Minister for Finance Ishaq Dar now says that PTI s demands are illegal. He also said that the government is getting richer and the country alongwith its people are getting poorer.
He further said that inclusion of spy agencies in the Judicial Commission was part of the negotiations with the government.
Khan said that they know that the election was rigged but they are giving the government a chance to make amends in its wrongdoings.
He said that PTI knows how the government published lacs of ballots in the last two days of elections and that who controlled Returning Officers (ROs).
He said that they know the media houses who aided the PML-N’s rigging. He said that Nawaz Sharif would have to resign and hold a re-election if rigging is proven.
PTI chairman also accused Jang and Geo to have helped the government to cover up rigging in the elections.
Khan said that leaders of political parties agree that rigging happened and yet did not urge the PM to resign. He accused that Pakistan People s Party (PPP) also did rigging in Sindh. He said that if there was no rigging then why the PM is resisting the vote re-count and investigation of the General Elections 2013.
He said that the country is facing problems due to the government policies and that if no rigging was done then four constituencies should have been opened to investigation.
He further said that they have written proof of rigging by the government.
