PTI does not need campaigning to return to power: Imran

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairperson Imran Khan on Tuesday said the party will return to power and will "not even need to campaign" due to the current situation in the country.

Addressing a seminar, the PTI chief said free and fair elections were needed immediately to lift the country of the ongoing economic turmoil in order to restore stability and confidence.

"The more the government delays elections, the more beneficial it will be for the PTI and we will not even need to campaign due to the current situation of the country."

He maintained that a "government with a clear majority needs to come so it can take bold decisions".

Imran, criticizing the government of Shehbaz Sharif, said a new government will have to take tough decisions to "correct the country's course".

He also said that the country needed to focus on attracting investment and investors should be incentivized and amnesties should only be provided to those who invest in Pakistan's industrial capacity. 

Referring to his ouster, the PTI chairperson claimed that he was still unaware of what those allegedly behind the plot were seeking and said he had sent "Shaukat Tarin to tell the neutrals" that the economy would be adversely affected due to political instability. 

Earlier, while announcing what appeared to be the final showdown with the government to force it to announce early election date, Imran asked people to converge on Rawalpindi on November 26 to restart “Haqiqi Azadi March”.
