LAHORE: Former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has alleged that the regime change decision was made behind closed doors in which a person declared him ‘dangerous’ and ordered to bring Shehbaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar to the government, ARY News reported on Friday.

While addressing PTI workers and supporters, Imran Khan alleged that the incumbent government is a ‘gift of Qamar Javed Bajwa’. He added, “A person had declared me dangerous and suggested to oust me. The same person also suggested bringing Shehbaz Sharif and Ishaq Dar to the government.”

“I had made maximum efforts to hold elections before the formation of a new government. Constitution also orders to hold elections in 90 days after the dissolution of the assembly. 15 judges of the Supreme Court (SC) had also given their opinion to hold polls in 90 days but the caretaker government is unwilling to organise polls.”

Khan alleged that the supporters of Maulana Fazlur Rehman have been handed over the caretaker set up in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), whereas, pro-Shehbaz Sharif people are present in Punjab’s caretaker government. “They have planned to be in the government till October and they will not hold polls.”

Imran Khan said that they sought orders from the Supreme Court (SC) for timely polls in Punjab. “This Supreme Court had once rejected PTI’s plea for holding polls. I have never complained about facing difficulties when the courts were opened late at night.”

“After the SC ruling, PTI commenced electioneering but the rulers started torturing us. During talks, the government suggested to hold polls after budget. I am continuously telling everyone that they are going to waste time as their intentions are bad.”

He reiterated that elections are the only solution to pull the country out of the crisis.
