Imran promises to ban military operations constitutionally

04 Nov, 2012

Pakistan Tehrik-e-Insaaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has vowed to bring in constitutional amendments to prevent military operations against countrymen in any part of the country. He reaffirmed his commitment not to support military operations anywhere in the country including North Waziristan.
In a TV interview, the PTI chief said that military operations instead of resolving problems, increase them. He said that the PTI was the only opponent of military operations and would not allow the army to kill its own people. The PTI chief said that he was not fighting to rule but to save the country. He challenged his political opponents to prove that he had recieved financial assistance or other support from intelligence institutions. He said that if it were proved that he had had contacts with the intelligence agencies, he would leave politics. On the other hand, Imran claimed that PML-N was formed by the ISI and the Sharif brothers have been exposed in the Asghar Khan case.
He said that neither the PPP nor the PML-N can defeat PTI in the forthcoming general elections and made the firm commitment to the people that plunderers and corrupt people would not be awarded party tickets. He said that the PTI would defeat corrupt politicians and made it clear that the party would award tickets through parliamentary board and that he would have no personal influence in it.
Imran Khan said his party was firm in its ideology and would not enter into alliance with any party for the formation of the government. He promised to bring a change after coming into power. He promised to introduce a local government system that would rid the people of Thana culture and corruption. The PTI chief accused the government and its allies for providing protection to criminals in Karachi and that was the reason that peace cannot be restored in the mega city.
