Imran Khan has issued a warning to potential “thieves” ahead of the country’s upcoming key polls. Khan, who is also the chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf party, urged the government to take strict measures to ensure fair and transparent elections. He emphasized the importance of free and fair elections and warned that his party would not tolerate any attempts to manipulate the electoral process. The warning comes amid concerns about election rigging and vote buying in the country, particularly in rural areas where the influence of feudal lords is strong. Khan has previously been a vocal critic of electoral fraud and has called for electoral reforms to ensure the integrity of the voting process.
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan warned the government and military establishment that his party, the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI), would take to the streets to establish the rule of law if the Supreme Court’s order on holding polls in Punjab province on May 14 was violated. Khan made these comments during a large rally of his party in Lahore, where he accused the government of running away from elections as it feared defeat to the PTI and wanted to remove him from the political arena. Khan called on the government to dissolve the National Assembly by May 14 if it wants elections across the country on the same day. He also alleged that the ruling party was trying to delay the elections and warned that his party would take legal action if they did not comply with the Supreme Court’s order. The final round of talks between the government and the PTI will be held on Tuesday.
