Imran Asks Govt to Break PTI Members in Four Weeks And Then Announce Elections
LAHORE MIRROR (Monitoring Desk) — PTI Chairman Imran Khan has issued a message to the government to break away as many party members for the next three to four weeks but announce elections afterwards.
“Give yourself time. If you want to take two or three weeks then break away as many people as you want. At the rate you’re going, you have already broken many and many more will break … but it is my request to give a timeframe because the country is heading towards destruction.
“The economy is sinking … so give yourself a timeframe of two to three weeks but then announce elections when you think you’ve broken away enough people from the PTI that it’s no longer able of contesting elections.”
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has claimed that a list of 23,000 party workers has been drawn up, adding that over 10,000 were in prison.
“They are political workers and many are being subjected to violence. Keep those guilty in prison but release the rest because most of them were not there [in the May 9 riots].
“It is my request that they (the government) are finishing politics and this is a plan to wind up democracy.”
PTI Chairman Imran Khan has appealed to the Supreme Court for a judicial inquiry over the May 9 riots to determine who was responsible for the vandalism and burning.
“It is the job of the courts to carry out an investigation and find out the culprits. We will fully help you. I will tell you to punish those who were responsible.
“But side by side, 25 people were martyred by straight firing and hundreds were shot. Where in the world are peaceful protests shot at and then there is no investigation.”
