Canada Global (Web News) Imran Khan, the leader of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), on Wednesday denied any connections to the nation’s new military administration.
The PTI leader claimed in an interview with BBC Urdu that his party now has no ties to the new administration, which is now run by General Syed Asim Munir, the new Chief of Army Staff (COAS).
The former prime minister also predicted that the general elections will take place in April of this year. He was removed as prime minister following a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly last spring.
As a result of Gen. (ret.) Qamar Javed Bajwa’s “supporting the government in running the country,” Khan continued to accuse the former army chief, and the leader of PTI predicted that the government would now be “forced to hold general elections by this April.”
When they took office, they resolved corruption cases totaling Rs. 1,100 billion, the man claimed.
The former premier blamed the current administration for the nation’s economic crisis and emphasised that the only way to resolve these issues is through free and fair elections. He also added that Pakistan’s economic situation have never been this bad.
The PTI leader alleged that the current administration, which is led by Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, was elected by bribery.
The PTI leader continued by saying that the coalition’s rulers had maintained their legal immunity and resolved the corruption issues in which they had been implicated in the past. “All of the cases against Shehbaz Sharif, Nawaz Sharif, Asif Zardari, and Maryam Nawaz have been dismissed.”
He claimed that his party had “sacrificed” two assemblies—Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab—in order to advance toward free and fair elections. The current situation will force this government to call elections in April.
