PTI Chairman Imran Khan says Transparent Elections in Pakistan not Possible

According to Geo News, Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan has stated that transparent elections in the country are not possible and rigging was rampant in the Punjab by-elections.

The PTI Chairman also accused the Election Commission of Pakistan of not complying with the orders of the Supreme Court. Khan said that he will be meeting with the Chief Election Commissioner to bring the point of rigging in general elections and by-polls into discussion.

“I will meet acting Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) of Pakistan Thursday and will discuss with him the matter of rigging in 4 constituencies during general elections and by-polls,” said Imran Khan.

The PTI Chairman also commented on the situation in Tharparker and blamed the feudal system and mentality for the drought and famine in the desert region of Pakistan.

In another statement, Imran Khan also accused Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM), Awami National Party (ANP) and People’s Party (PPP) to have fought the American war for five years.

In the recent General Elections, Imran Khan had also raised concerns over rigging and alleged that the Punjab government was not ensuring transparent elections. The same was the case in Karachi, where PTI workers had protested against alleged rigging.
