Islamabad sit-in: Imran foresees elections before Eid in 2015
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
Did he talk about polio cases in KP?
Yeah right status quo help people like you to plunder the nation. Carry on till you bleed your country to its demise@Zahid:
Imran brags in public but apologizes behind curtain. He is master of U turns.
BIGGEST U TURN in HISTORY of PAKISTAN.
Its ok Drama should continue as it is not hurting any one any more. There will be no resignation and the next elections will be fore Eid of 2019.
I have said it before, and I'll say it again, without the street and fire power of the MQM, this government cannot be overthrown. Imran needs to start making overtures to the MQM, and then he will see the ocean of people fill the streets of Pakistan's economic lifeline, KARACHI !
Sooner the better and i wish they will cross 100 mark no in coming election this time in a free and fair election though last time i was expecting them to be around 70 seats. Let's see if ECP will be able to conduct free far election next time.
Thankfully, there was no 48 hour or 72 hour prophecy this time! Ground realities appear to be sinking in finally!
Pakistan's last chance for recovery. If things don't change this time they won't in the future.
Go Nawaz go!!!!
Since he didn't specify which Eid, he might just be right. He should stop the insanity now and start the election campaign in 3 years. He has caused enough loss to the nation.
Didn't rasheed say "qurbani seh pehlay qurbani" and qadri giving August deadline? Next year Imran will ask for another year extension.
