“Thieves and the election commission colluded to rig the elections. How many times has the chief election commissioner (CEC) met Maryam Nawaz and Hamza Shehbaz? They are now planning to steal the polls.”
“Sharif family has a quality of doing nothing with honesty. CEC should tell the nation how will you rig the polls this time. I also know about Mr X who received the orders to make grounds for the thieves to win the polls. I know that Mr X brought Mr Y to Multan. Those who rig the polls will face severe public reaction.”
The PTI chairman asked the nation to stand fearlessly against those who want to spread fear and make them slaves. “We don’t want slavery and we want friendly ties with all countries across the globe under an independent foreign policy.”

He urged the nationals to change their fate on July 17 by throwing out the corrupt rulers. “After imposing the rulership of thieves, we are being threatened. I want to give a clear message that I will never accept the ruler of thieves ever if someone takes my life. The nation will never accept the slavery of the United States (US) at any cost.”
He criticised that people received threatening phone calls and FIRs were lodged against patriotic journalists like Imran Riaz Khan, Arshad Sharif and others. “Imran Riaz was mentally tortured after being arrested. 15 FIRs had been registered against me and several cases were filed against my people. They want us to become US slaves.”
