Imran Khan demands administrative govt for Punjab polls

LAHORE: The former prime minister and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan demanded an administrative government for election in Punjab, ARY News reported on Monday. 

In an informal conversation, the PTI chairman said that the election must be held within 90 days and if it exceeded 90 days then it’s an open violation of the constitution. 

The former prime minister said that the caretaker government will be unconstitutional after 90 days. He suggested removing the caretaker government and placing an administrative setup just to hold the elections. 

He lambasted the caretaker government saying that they are doing everything except holding general elections which is the primary responsibility of the caretaker government. They are a part of the London plan where they promised the PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif to carry out activities against the opposition. 

The PTI chairman Imran Khan claimed that former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa run a campaign against PTI because he wanted an extension. He said two OIC meetings were held in Pakistan in three months when they were in power.

Pakistan had friendly relations with China, Saudi Arabia, Turkiye, Donald Trump and Borris Johnson in their tenure, Imran Khan added but no one wants good relations with the PDM government. 

 The PTI chairman said if the State Bank of Pakistan did not release funds for the elections then it will be a violation of the constitution.

He said that the PTI workers and leaders are first abducted then they are charged with the crime. The PTI workers are arrested across Pakistan, Imran Khan added.
