ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Monday that the formation of a judicial commission to probe rigging allegations in the 2013 elections will benefit Pakistan and strengthen its democratic system, Express News reported.

Addressing the media outside the National Assembly in Islamabad, he said since the elections were rigged, relevant authorities should have conducted an investigation into the matter.

"All political parties agree that the 2013 elections were rigged, " the PTI chairman claimed. "If rigging is proved, people will be exposed, " he added.

On April 2, the PTI and the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) formally signed an agreement paving way for the formation of a judicial commission through a presidential decree to investigate allegations of massive rigging in the 2013 general elections.

Hasan Askari | 9 years ago | Reply raider I only care about one language and it is Urdu. Which is my mother tongue so thanks but no thanks for your advice Yes Nawaz is a corrupt leader. However he is a lesser evil when compared to likes of Imran Khan. Nawaz at least has the mannerisms to talk to people in proper manner. Those who go on to become PM and President have this quality which Imran does not. Imran is a tribal who treats others as tribal. I don't know about his family background but from his manners I do not think he has had a good upbringing. Imran is the most bad thing that has happened to Pakistan. If you ask me he needs to be behind bars for supporting and promoting and tacitly encouraging terrorist behaviors. His destination is article 6

raider | 9 years ago | Reply @Hasan Askari: keep a balance of your thesis firstly you end up calling Nawaz as corrupt lastly you again open up in Imran s’ hatred and ending up calling same man as well mannered , cultured person, harmonize your thinking and English writing

raider | 9 years ago | Reply @Hasan Askari: Imran khan is only politician who always talk about transparency and has never looted and plundered this nation, you need well-mannered “dahkos” then you have it

Hasan Askari | 9 years ago | Reply And you are telling us this after holding this country under a siege, making promises, threatening, attacking ptv and saying you will never turn back and of course leading to death of few innocent youngsters, ruining their careers, education. If this is not article 6 then I do not know what is. I don't care about this clown but I feel sad for supporters. They thought that in Imran they had some kind of great leader but what they got was a disappointment never seen before. Nawaz and Zardari are corrupt for sure but at least they are not munafiqs. They face wrath of people. It is these kind of leaders who show one thing and act another that are dangerous for any nation This is the reason why he has failed for 20 years. He actually is not a man of his words and makes compromises due to coward nature (eg taliban appeasing) Let Nawaz rule..at least he is well mannered and speaks like a cultured person.
