Protests being held to get justice, not to come into power: Imran

[Norwegian]

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Friday rubbished rumours that his stage-ins were being held to bring martial law into the country.

“My lifelong struggle cannot be reduced to bringing martial law in the country. My struggle is only to bring true democracy in the country,” said Imran.

Addressing a press conference in Islamabad, he said his party had been protesting in the federal capital for the past 106 days to hold those responsible for rigging elections, not to replace Nawaz Sharif as the prime minister of Pakistan.

Imran said electoral reforms won’t do any good until those who rigged the 2013 polls are brought to the book.

“… If we want to move ahead and correct the country’s electoral process, we will have to hold those who rigged the polls, accountable,” he said.

The PTI chief said the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) got 6.8 million votes in the 2008 elections when the All Parties Democratic Alliance did not take part in the polls, but this number doubled in 2013, taking the vote count to 15 million.

“This was because the polls were rigged on a large scale,” he said.

Imran said if justice isn’t served in this regard, the next elections won’t be a popularity contest between parties but a competition of who is better at rigging.

The PTI chief went on to point out that numerous target killings had taken place in Karachi but no one had been arrested for the crime.

“15,000 people have been target killed in Karachi. There are strong anti-terror laws but still the killing spree continues as target killers haven’t been arrested,” said Imran.

The PTI chairman argued that he came out on the streets as no institution was willing to provide justice, adding that he will reply to Pervaiz Rashid’s allegations during tonight’s sit-in address at D-Chowk.

He added that the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) rigged the 2013 polls in Sindh just like the PML-N did in Punjab, pointing out how PPP bagged more votes after “destroying Sindh in five years” than it did after the assassination of Benazir Bhutto.

Extra ballot papers printed

The PTI chairman alleged that over 5 million extra ballot papers were printed from three printing presses in Pakistan, whereas data from two others was not available yet.

“These [extra] votes were added to their candidates’ vote count,” said Imran, adding that 124,000 extra ballot papers were printed in PML-N leader Saad Rafique’s constituency.

Pray tell us Mr.Khan, how do you want to get justice? Through judiciary or through mob power ? This is one gem of a dimwit statement from him. At Least don't be hypocritical about your intentions.

And I've been repeatedly asking this question, What if dharna fails once again . What would he do then ?

 

[Fracker]

Yeah yeah, we know why you are there so stop bs'ing around. If accountabilty was the issue he could go with 5 n half demands, if he didnt want army intervention, he could not be waiting for third umpire or asking technocrate government. He is one hypocrite person, who can take U-Turn any time, untill he gets PMship.

 

[BetterPakistan]

He will get justice pretty soon with the power of Population of Pakistan

 

[SQ8]

I clearly remember him saying "Pakistanion!, Mujhe Prime minister bana do.. "

 

[Old Navigator]

Why IK does not present the solid evidence before media/courts then let the nation/judge decide?
But I guess its too late, umpire was never with IK and IK was trying to wage a battle, which was lost many months ago.
what a sad way to say "Game's Over"

 

[Saifkhan12]

Very good reasons to protest and correct this farce of a system. The whole system needs to be overhauled.

I am guessing from being under BS leaders you cant differentiate a different person and paint everyone with the same brush...

If you are will to be tricked (originally I used rape but I dont think I need to use that kind of language) by PPP few times by PMLN then why are you afraid of a new comer? Why not give him the chance to trick too? ONLY GOD knows he might prove you wrong!

and what's your post has got to do with What I said ? Totally irrelevant comment. Criticizing foolish acts of IK doesn't mean I automatically support NS or Zardari. Try to comment on the post content instead of deflecting it too others leader.

Well what "OTHER" choice do you have? MQM? JI? ANP?

What is the topic and what is relevancy of your question w.r.t to Foolish statement IK has made ? In a functioning society, does someone get justice through courts or through mob power ?

Other choice Mantra has become quite old now. Until next elections, IK won't get a chance, Ask me then what Choice do I have

1stly, Justice is not Justice in Pakistan.....To get Justice you either have to bribe or kiss some high throne ***! I aint even joking! We have examples of Ex CJ, court order for IK within hours vs court order for Lahore killings (still pending), Gullu Butt given free hand, getting caught, let go and then sent to jail....It is a real joke to talk about Justice......Please do explain who will DARE to give justice AGAINST PMLN or MQM? Either the witness will vanish, the proof will be lost (happened many times before) or some stupid remark will be made and swept under the carpet (eg. Gilani, Zardari)....There is no form of justice for the elite (give me 1 example) or politicians....Either they die (AMEEN) or someone shoots em (Ameen again)

2ndly Mob power if you wanna call it that can also be called People's power depending on which side of the coin you are!

As for other choice mantra.....We really do have many waiting to juice Pakistan....Shameless and def against our own constitution which says:

Article 62 lists a number of qualifications for membership of the National Assembly, including "good character and is not commonly known as one who violates Islamic Injunctions," "adequate knowledge of Islamic teachings and practices obligatory duties prescribed by Islam as well as abstains from major sins", "sagacious, righteous and non-profligate, honest and ameen." The constitution also details a number of disqualifications in Article 63, which include mental instability, insolvency, criminal conviction and accepting dual-citizenship or relinquishing their Pakistani nationality, among others.


People's power or mob pwoer are only unholding article 62 to get rid off one who cant even want something for another what he wants for himself (OBLIGATORY DUTY PRESCRIBED BY ISLAM)....

Give 1 good deed he did which benefited the nation WITHOUT BENEFITING HIMSELF in return?!

IK has 2 the hospital and the uni he built...things the country needs!

IF this is why mob power grew than let there be power to the people as it was their votes that were rigged and they have full rights to ask for an answer! After all it is supposed to be PARLIAMENT = democracy = people's choice!

I aint his fan nor have I ever gone to any of his jalsas or anything...I just think we should give a chance to another person to screw us!

A prof at Leeds uni told us the definition of insanity is doing the same "failed" thing repeatedly! Well as per this definition Pakistani nation has reached Insanity level and at such a level it would be ok to choose a different person!
