“The Supreme Court should investigate the rigging allegations in one month under Justice retd Nasir Aslam Zahid. The PTI would end its sit-in if our allegations proven wrong,” Imran said while addressing his sit-in in Islamabad on its 85 day.
While making commitment of ending the sit-in, Khan also put a condition that “in case rigging is proved then resignation of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif should be ensured.”
In his speech, Khan also opposed the idea of making the idea of carving out new provinces in the country.
The PTI chairman also vowed to bring back the looted national money from the foreign backs after coming to power and to hold corrupt leaders accountable for their deeds.

No, you are not in a position to demand anything. Keep on entertaining people of Islamabad.
First IK had COMPLETE Trust in Iftikhar Chaudhary, Then He had COMPLETE trust in Fakhru Bhai, then he had COMPLETE trust in current CJP Nasir Ul Mulk, and now he had COMPLETE Trust in Justice Nasir Aslam Zahid.
New name at every stage of the way. How many U-Turn's will he take?
Also did anyone note, another one of PTI's U-Turn. IK had claimed that transparent inquiry cannot be carried out under NS. NS must resign then order inquiry and today.
Isn't this what Nawaz offered on day 1? I guess no-one is sincere to the cause. Its just politics after all.
Why investigation of rigging such a hot button for you guys (like realitycheck, sabi and others). Its a good opportunity for you guys to prove it wrong and IK will be politically dead.
Who res what Imran Khan wants. He has shown himself to be an immature person who cares about power at all costs without regard for the country's well being. He has been exposed as a phony and the government should ignore people like him and Tahirul Qadri.
Another politician in the waiting to replace the current paralised business man dynasty who are squandering country's fortune by cash hand outs to persecuted individuals, displaced millions and thosands affected by natural disasters. The House of Saud has opened up branches in Lahore and Islamabad.

Now go away and do some other stunts on some foreign land with 'huge' fan following.Here you will see nothing but rotten eggs and tomatoes.
maybe someone should inform PTI of Article 225 of the constitution SC cannot go beyond its purview infact the last hearing by the CJ also gave credence to the fact that SC has no authority to probe so called election rigging and all that PTI submitted in court was mere allegations with nothing concrete to back it up I hope PTI or rather immy go home and stay home we need doers not talkers..
