SC's Gilani verdict is historic, says Imran Khan

PTI chief says problems will not go away even if new prime minister is elected, early elections the only solution.

ISLAMABAD: The Supreme Court’s decision which declared Prime Minister Yousaf Raza Gilani ineligible to hold office was a historic verdict, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Wednesday.

Speaking to the media in Islamabad, Imran said that even if a new prime minister is elected by the current setup, the problem would not be solved.

“The only solution left now is early election,” Imran said, adding that the current government had failed to do any good in the last four years and expecting something different from them now is out of the question.

Expressing frustration over the power crisis, the PTI chief said that he has decided to stand with the people and protest against loadshedding.

He announced a protest rally in Faisalabad on June 27 and said he will also visit other cities and protest along with the locals.
