Islamabad: Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf chief Imran Khan Sunday gave a clear roadmap for Pakistan.
Addressing a news conference on Sunday, Imran Khan, whose popularity is unexpectedly rising in the country since his successful Lahore rally, said that the two major parties (PPP and PML-N) are status quo parties. “These two parties want to save the system,” he said. He also said that the PML-N was formed by the military establishment.
Khan said that the PTI will hold next rally in Karachi. Khan stressed that the PTI is a party of change and would welcome all parties want change and betterment in the country.
About his election strategy, including alliances, he put forth a policy that can best be called a ‘wait and see’ policy, though Khan for the first time even sounded a mature politician because he didn’t slam shut the door on politicians who have traditional constituency seats.
Khan said, “We will be in touch with all parties in favour of change. We will stay in touch with all parties, and we will decide about alliances near the elections time. We however welcome all politicians joining the PTI — the politicians stuck up in other parties being without options — all constituency candidates are welcome. We will even approach the parties similar to our ideology of change.”
About his call for politicians to declare assets, the PTI chief said that a committee has been formed to clear people seeking to join the party. Similarly, a scrutiny committee has been formed to check asset details of big names in all spheres, particularly politicians. The scrutiny committee comprises people who have served NAB or are ex-govt servants or lawyers.”
“Evens people who are in the PTI will be scrutinized,” he added.
He also hit the nail in the head when he demanded fair registration of votes – a subject long controversial in the country.
The PTI said, “We will not allow any fiddling in the next elections. Electoral rolls are wrong as not even 15 per cent of voters have been registered. We will go to the SC to get an order that electoral rolls be formed on the basis of NADRA data.”
He said that the future of Pakistan depends on the next elections. “And we will try our best to get free and independent election commission.”
