Speaking in Lahore, Khan said that he is fighting for Pakistan, and that he will provide evidence against the rigging that was carried out in the May 2013 general elections.
Asking his supporters to prepare for the march, Khan said that the march will start from Lahore.
Hinting that their march will not end after reaching Islamabad, he said that it was not a Twenty20 match, but a Test match.
Khan clarified that he has no desire to become the prime minister and will continue his fight till the incumbent electoral system is reformed.
"The present government and their mandate is false," he said.
Khan and his PTI have been planning a million-man march on to Islamabad on August 14 to coincide with Independence Day. They are demanding that the incumbent electoral process should be changed.

@Sadia: Kya karen, old habits die hard! I guess our Kaptaan must be the most "intellectually challenged" product of Oxford. I have never heard him speaking any sense or ideas. Buddha ho gaya aur abhi tak aql nahi ayee!
he should come out from cricket phobia
Immature comments in the times of IDP crisis continue by the czar of politics. Khan Sahib keep fanning the flames of provincialism in KPK masking your inept performance in the province
@BABA: @sabi: "The accuracy of weather forecast is very low beyond 10 days" But political whether!
@Kamran: why? i am doing the guy a favour by pointing out how juvenile he sounds. mature political analogies are for him to figure out, if he is at all capable of it.
Test matches these days are much more result oriented than ever before!!
This kind of immature leadership is impoverishing our spirits, energies and intellect.
True hero of Pakistan... fighting against all odds...
Can someone please tell guy that a committee has already been formed to suggest electoral reforms. He should look for some other excuse for creating anarchy.
Democratic history will remember to Imran khan over to get amendment in current electoral system which has been unveiled by May 2013 election massive rigging. And it will be a first step toward strengthen of democracy in the country. Nobody should be now remained unaware and salience over the tacks using by politician to win their required results and must raise their voice upon happening this injustice.
What a wonderful picture of Kaptaan
The man suffers beyond doubt from serious libido disorder!
uuugghh!... STOP already with associating everything with cricket.
Kaptaan had been resting his mouth for sometime and it looked so good both for him and his "party". It seems that the rest was taken just to get back into action" and now he seems to be "in form" and is all over the media with his "pearly wisdom".
@sabi: The accuracy of weather forecast is very low beyond 10 days
This is not a fight for Pakistan lier this is your fight for premier ship and that's all
The story of the piped piper feeding tat poison to the children .
I always thought that this guy was an eminent authority on cricket but the way he incorporates cricketing analogies in politics has led me to conclude that he is not even fit to do rank amateur commentary on Ramazan Cricket matched being shown by GEO Super these days :D
@Sadia - I agree. It's really immature.
As far as him not wanting to become Prime Minister, pfft. Guy's been campaigning for the position for the past 18 years. It must have burn him up that the person he considers a dodo is serving his third term while he hasn't gotten his chance yet (and hopefully never will).
And what's this about providing evidence on 14 August? Why does he need to wait 15 months to provide evidence? Anyway, someone needs to tell him that irregularities do not equal "stolen mandate." The most he can get from a complete audit of the elections is a few seats. In fact, it won't be surprising if PTI loses a fair share of seats in the process.
@Sadia: Please suggest at least two alternatives which can justify "get over the cricket analogies"
Yeap and you wont get anything out of it other than draw or expulsion from cricket / politics.
Test match is a civilised play. Don't think PTI has the capability to deliver anything beyond a "Kabaddi" match.
According to weather forecast it's very likely-match abandoned.
Thank You Khan! Your appearance was much needed. Long live
Test matches are notorious for ending in a draw.
