A screengrab showing Imran Khan during his press conference.
Imran was talking to the media outside the Supreme Court, where he stressed that the current political setup favours the corrupt and allows them a place in the assemblies.
Speaking about the alleged rigging in the last year’s general election, Imran said it was important to bring wrongdoers to book to ensure the crime ends.
Commenting over the delay in investigation of rigging claims, Imran said he was not disappointed by the Supreme Court but was upset with former chief justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry as he failed to get the results of just four constituencies verified.
“If voting in those four constituencies were checked in timely manner, things would have been clearer as how massive was the rigging in May 11 elections,” he said.
Imran also warned that his party will go out in the streets if justice was not served.

I am shocked at the shear ignorance of previous users.Terrorism,nepotism,corrupting is part and parcel of this country.Fixing electoral process is the first step.It is extremely important initiative and will make sure people elect their rightful representatives.All this rigging and illegitimate appointments marks the first step in country's demise.An honest representative if elected tries his best to improve the life of people in his constituency.All these politicians are illiterate ,impotent and cannot run this country.They are just interested in filling their pockets .They dont care whatsoever what happens to this country or its citizens.Take PM house and its kharchas for example.A single 8 marla house is enough to house 1 p.m if he wishes so but they consider them as royalty.SO in short we need an overhauled computerized electoral process which will ensure people choice is sanctioned and get rid of this dilemma.All pml-n supporters i dare you.After a family member is appointed to head nadra PM-N wil try its best to sabotage improving electoral process and will likely succeed.We the nation is holding this country back and i feel ashamed to be a part of this disgraced nation.
Imran is right. The electoral process is completely disfigured and farcical. It needs a systemic overhaul ASAP. Salams
Lopsided priorities, no vision.
Election was clearly fixed...electoral process not. Sorry Imran, we election commission thought otherwise.
Corrupt practices prevail in this "Land of Pure". Even a poor rickshaw driver emulates what the department heads and politicians do.
@The Only Normal Person Here: That Sharia does not like any electoral system like ours.They want only a Shura.
@shah:Please do not talk about extremism and terrorism.IK does not like it.
@Ali: But why? Have you any other issue too?
Blowing gas is just about the only endeavor IK can excel at. If this system is so stinking corrupt, why is a person like IK who is perched on a high moral horse is clinging to the provisional government in KPK and leading his party in the National Assembly? Resign from all such offices and come out on the street to protest against such an injustice. Otherwise leading a provisional government and sitting in the Parliament and protesting against the system/federal government is classified as "Muk Muka" and "Noor Kushti."
Bring Musharraf back to power if country to be saved from extremists and looters.
@Wali: You mean with promotion of injustice try to solve the issues like inflation/terrorism/security. Well thinking sir.
how many people have to die before pti youth will realize that their king has no clothes?
Just for information of all those uninformed commentators Imran Khan was speaking outside the Supreme Court where his own petition was being heard regarding the last election. What exactly would you expect him to talk about there?
Your cardinal sin is that you want peace in the region and support peace talk. Which makes you the supporter of Taliban (not fair). This is use by many to defame you But I still have hope in you. You are the only politician who stands clean unlike others.
Long Live IK
IK should stay in KPK until every child over the age of 6 months has had oral polio vaccination!
If this system favors the criminals then where's is the problem, you should be happy as your own record is just about as good as the rest of the "criminals" who go for politicians in this unfortunate country.
This is why we sent you in the assemblies to reform the electrol process...
So do a legislation now.. so we won't have to cry over rigging next time 2018.
What home work and legislation you have proposed till now in one year?
does this guy understand that the biggest problem right now is to make ISI competent enough to stop the terrorists before they kill more polio workers and other innocent pakis!
Mr. Khan can you give us corruption cleansing Pakistan after 2018?
Is that how you will keep talking till next elections? IK is a bad loser.
I think in order to save Pakistan, 'many' steps have to be taken and several things have to be fixed all at once. Saying that ONLY fixing electoral process or dealing with terrorism or eliminating extremism, will save the country doesn't make sense. Education, electoral process, terrorism, extremism, employment, dearness, target killings, and all those problems that make the life difficult for common public need to be addressed altogether to save Pakistan.
The only way to save Pakistan is to root out extremism and take actions against terrorists and their sympathisers.
American Totta + 35 Punctures = PCB Chairman
Pakistan Zindabad :)
Dear IK!!! Can we please talk of something else???
Fixing the narcissism of certain leaders will be more effective in order to "save Pakistan."
Saving Pakistan..... Fair enough but I thought for many Pakistanits right now the most critical and burning issue was dealing with the terrorism/security/inflation.
