MARDAN – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan on Friday lashedout at what he called ‘neutrals’ and the chief election commissioner ofPakistan.
Addressing a rally in Mardan as part of his campaign for the Real FreedomMarch on Islamabad against what he calls the important government, ImranKhan laid down his demands.
The former prime minister put forth the following demands at the rally:
– announcement of a date for the general elections – removal of Chief Election Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja – formation of a judicial commission to probe the ‘foreign conspiracy’ – open hearing of the judicial commission’s proceedings
Khan said it was for the people of Pakistan and not for any foreign countryto decide who should rule Pakistan. He urged his supporters to overcometheir fear of death before coming to Islamabad (for the long march) againstthe “imported” government.
“The sea of people will wash away everyone if there is no date forelections,” said Imran Khan. He addressed all public employees, includingthe personnel of the security forces, but stopped short of saying anythingconcrete.
“Today I am speaking to all of my public servants. Speaking to policemen,speaking to my soldiers. Whoever receives salary I am speaking to him. Doremember, the rizq is in the hands of Allah and hard work in your hand.”
He said that incumbent rulers would never allow Pakistan to become a greatnation. He then spoke about economic difficulties during his rule and hisplans for the long march on Islamabad.
“I am giving a message to the corrupt mafia and the convicts should hearthis,” he said, “You will not make decisions for the country, but thepeople will decide who rules Pakistan.”
He once again reiterated his claim that the “United States had conspired”against his regime, while the local “Mir Sadiqs and Mir Jaffars” wereinvolved.
