KHUSHAB: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has said that the forthcoming electoral contest in Punjab was not just a by-election but it will decide the fate of the country, ARY News reported on Friday.
PTI Chairman Imran Khan addressed a big public gathering in Punjab’s Khushab town today ahead of by-polls on 20 vacant seats of the Punjab Assembly scheduled to be held on July 17.
Imran Khan said, “I challenge you to lodge FIRs [First Information Reports] as many as you can but the nation will never accept these rulers at any cost.”
“The people of Khushab will have to promise me that they will defeat the turncoats in Punjab and take responsibility to get PTI victorious in the by-polls. These turncoats use to fix the price of their consciences and commit treason against their nation, constitution and religion. This is not only the war of Imran Khan but it is a war of you all. This is jihad, not politics.”

“A corrupt man has been made the head of the state. Will you accept Shehbaz Sharif and Hamza Shehbaz as your prime minister and chief minister? Will you accept Asif Ali Zardari and Fazlur Rehman as your ruler?” The participants of the PTI jalsa responded to Khan’s question by raising their voices to say negative.
The former premier censured the current rulers for torturing, threatening and jailing senior journalists including Ayaz Amir and Imran Riaz Khan just to spread fear and suppress voices against them. “15 FIRs were lodged against me and terrorism cases were filed against my team. People are being threatened via unknown telephone calls.”

“I will not take the name but an individual, who is sitting in Lahore, is on a mission to manage the victory of the thieves. I want to tell him that whatever you want to do against us, just do it. As much as you get involved in vote-rigging, you will face public criticism. Hamza will be sent packing soon after the by-election results.”
Imran Khan said that the fate of those nations is just disaster if they give NRO to the big dacoits.”I want to tell Khushab people, this is not a by-election but it is about the fate of the country.”
Imran Khan vowed that PTI will make the future of Pakistan by fighting the war of real independence. The current rulers will never be accepted by the nation at any cost.
He asked Khushab people to depute youth to every polling station to resist vote-rigging in the forthcoming by-polls. He also appealed to the people to vote for PTI and refrain from dividing the vote bank in by-elections.
