The PTI chairman, Imran Khan, said that the party members who were leaving had “faced a very difficult time” and that he had nothing but sympathy for them.
The former premier responded, “I know tremendous pressure has been put on them,” when asked if he would welcome those who had left the party back. “Even if I am left alone, Haqeeqi Azadi, I will continue to fight for this country’s genuine freedom. “Nobody should think that I’ll cave in under this pressure. Those who continue to back me in the face of opposition will not be forgotten by the nation.
“All this that the government is doing has never been seen before in the history of the country,” PTI chief Imran Khan has said, referring to the oppression of his party members.
“Efforts to eliminate PTI have been under way for over a year now. But all what they are doing is just strengthening the party,” he said.
“I have not held talks with anyone.
“I have always said I am willing to hold negotiations with everyone, but talks can only be on elections.”
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said that any option other than holding elections would lead to destruction.
“Where Pakistan is standing today, except for free and fair elections, any route you take will lead to the destruction of Pakistan,” he said in a conversation with journalists at Zaman Park.
“The only way out of this swamp are free and fair elections.”
“Whenever an independent commission [investigates into May 9 riots], you will see that there was an organised conspiracy behind this.
“Everything was planned.
“So I demand that an independent commission is constituted.
“And let me tell you what will be revealed after its probe. We will give you evidence — how people were made to attack as part of a plan.”
“My arrest … they want to eliminate me and ban the PTI … all this is a part of the London plan,” PTI Chairman Imran Khan has said.
“Eventually what will you gain out of it? The democracy, public and the institutions are suffering because of it.”
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has questioned the legal standing of the caretaker governments in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, saying that the 90-day period for elections was completed.
“KP and Punjab make up 70 per cent of Pakistan. Today there is no representative there because they didn’t hold elections. The federal government along with the caretaker government and Election Commission of Pakistan broke the Constitution.”
