ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf chief Imran Khan on Wednesday accused the government of backtracking on negotiation to resolve the ongoing stalemate, adding that the government had earlier agreed during negotiation with PTI to constitute a special investigation team, which will also include Military Intelligence (MI) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) officials to probe election rigging.

He asserted that the demand was not illegal or unconstitutional, arguing that under Article 190 every institution including investigation agencies such as ISI and MI, IB were bound to assist the Judicial Commission in investigation of any matter.
He alleged that Nawaz Sharif told lie in Parliament while Ishaq Dar did the same in his press conference, claiming that PTI had written evidence to prove that the government had agreed to have MI and ISI role in rigging probe.
