Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan said on Wednesday that he would directly challenge the government after his show of power in Islamabad on November 30. "If we aren't served with justice before November 30, you won't be able to run the government," Khan told a public meeting in Nankana Sahib.
He said his new offer was that neither he will call off the sit-in nor shall Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif resign until the inquiry report into the election rigging was released. He defended his earlier call for inclusion of the ISI and MI in the investigation into the alleged fraud in last year's elections. "Under Article 190, the representatives from ISI and MI can be included in commission for inquiry. Never before in our history our women have made such massive participation," he said.
He said that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has misinterpreted the slogan of "Go Nawaz Go" as he was making tours of the foreign countries. "By Go Nawaz Go I don't mean foreign trips, Nawaz. I am demanding your resignation," the PTI chief said. He said the protest has taken over Nawaz's thoughts, wherever he goes he talks of the sit-in.
"Even today in London, Nawaz was talking about the 'Dharna'. The Azadi Square sit-in has pressed upon him," he went on to say. "Until now the Dharna hasn't done damage to the government halting its working. If we aren't served with justice before November 30, you won't be able to run the government," he warned.
He recalled that five out of six demands had been conceded by the PML-N negotiation team to the PTI committee leader, Shah Mehmood Qureshi. "If electoral frauds are proven by the scrutiny then you will have to resign," he said. "It is due to your own incompetence and failed policies that you are unable to run the country," he claimed. He regretted that National Assembly Speaker Ayaz Sadiq hiding behind a stay order for NA-122, adding that why doesn't Nawaz order probe to resolve the issue.
He said the govt has failed to deliver as in Pakistan the law serves the ones with power, the weaker are deprived. "We have been seeking justice for seventeen months but none of the avenues has served so. If we are unable to win justice then how can a weak and powerless are duly served in Pakistan."
He, however, congratulated the LHC for it has decreed against Maryam Nawaz on the petition of a PTI youth. Khan also condemned the PPP and said the PML-N and the PPP both were party to electoral fixing in the 2013 polls. "If scrutiny is let to process the both, PML-N and PPP will be caught for their frauds."
