Islamabad sit-in: Imran foresees elections before Eid in 2015

ISLAMABAD: In another address full of prophecy, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan said that he foresees elections before Eid next year.

Atop his container on the 52nd day of his protests against riggings and the incumbent government, the PTI chief proudly claimed that evidence proving the May 2013 elections were rigged was coming forward in increasing amount.

“I believe elections will be held before next Eid and your government will come in to power.”

Continuing on the theme of rigging in elections, Imran pointed towards a report by Fafen where they pointed out three ways which could easily prove if the May 2013 elections were rigged or not. He added that in addition to the method listed by Fafen, if procurements of ballot papers and ink are probed, it would reveal those involved in rigging.

On the defamation cases filed against him by former Chief Justice Iftikhar Muhammad Chaudhry and Justice (retd) Ramday, Imran said he could not wait for the cases the be affixed for hearing. Urging the two to club their defamation cases against him, Imran said he would reveal how the two orchestrated the elections and how they were helped by members within the Lahore High Court.

Taking a swipe at Bilawal Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari, Imran said that one does not become a leader if leadership is bequeathed to them. The PTI chief continued his tirade, directing his ire towards the Awami National Party chief Asfandyar Wali and Jamiat Ulema Islam-Fazal group (JUI-F) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman.

He urged his supporters to turn out at his demonstration at D-Chowk on Sunday and for a whole day of activity on Eid day where Eid prayers will be led by Dr Tahirul Qadri.

Imran keeping some safe period has said that elections will be held before next Eid ul Fiter 2015 but I think Qadri jalsas commencing after Eid will electrify the momentum to topple PM Nawaz and quite possibly elections will be held much earlier than Eid ul Fiter 2015. Iqbal Hadi Zaidi
