Imran Khan, while addressing a public rally in Bhakkar today, said that the thieves have joined hands with the election commission to rig the upcoming Punjab by-polls. “Pakistanis should be aware of these thieves who come forth to rig the elections.”

“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 enslave them. “We don’t want slavery and we want friendly ties with all countries across the globe under an independent foreign policy.”
