Sindh Minister for Excise, Taxation, Narcotics, Sharjeel Inam Memon said that former prime minister Imran Khan had fabricated cipher narrative to save his rule and political career.
Sharjeel claimed that both Donald Lu and Asad Majeed had refuted Khan's assertions.
While accusing Khan of resorting to lobbyists to manipulate public perception, Sharjeel criticised the attempt to tarnish Pakistan's image globally.
“PTI's sloganeering during Donald Lu's statement made Pakistan a figure to fun across the globe," said Sharjeel.
The minister further alleged that those who support genocide in Palestine also support Imran Khan.
He went on to claim that electoral irregularities had begun prior to the 2018 elections, suggesting unannounced censorship as indicative of fraudulent practices.
He cited concerns over constituency delimitation and the lack of transparency acknowledged by European observers regarding the election results.
Accusing PTI of orchestrating a ‘go slow’ policy to sway voters in their favour, Shajeel criticised the secrecy surrounding ballot counting and custody during the 2018 elections.
He further alleged that the manipulation extended to coercing strong candidates into running as independent contenders.
Sharjeel alleged that the ‘real rigging’ in the 2018 elections was that strong candidates of the party were forced to return tickets and become independent candidates.
