NewsECP invites Imran Khan's ire over ‘poll campaign debarment’
NOWSHERA: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan has once again criticized the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), asking it why he has been barred from canvassing in NA-122 constituency.
Talking to media persons here on Thursday, Imran Khan wondered: “What do I have that I can offer to the people (in exchange for their vote)?”
He demanded that Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) be made part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.
Then turning his critical gun towards Pakistan People’s Party (PPP), Imran Khan said PPP Co-chairman Asif Zardari has escaped to Dubai out of fear.
Commenting over ongoing Karachi operation, he said MQM and PPP were exerting pressure on Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to stop Rangers from continuing the operation.
Khan said Nawaz Sharif did not honour his commitment made to former President Asif Ali Zardari and initiated a probe against the PPP.
The PTI chairman said people in the country wanted accountability across the board, adding that PML-N and PPP had appointed NAB chiefs to hide their corruption.
He cited the example of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government where an accountability chief was appointed by the provincial assembly.
Imran Khan further said the KP Ehtesab Commission launched a probe against provincial minister Ziaullah Afridi without any interference from the party. He called on Afridi to clear his name instead of blaming the PTI.
Terming the PM's relief package for farmers as ‘pre-poll rigging’, Khan stressed that the package should have been awarded in the budget.
Imran Khan also complained that along with him other members of the party had been stopped from campaigning in NA-122.
