Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan said his party has no plans of returning to Parliament until a judicial commission is formed to probe rigging allegations. 

"Riaz Fatyana has confirmed that additional ballot papers were printed," Imran said, welcoming Fatyana as a new member of PTI. Fatyana belonged to the Pakistan Muslim League-Quaid.

"Justice Ramday and former chief justice of Pakistan Chaudhry Iftikhar have a big hand to play in the success of the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz in the elections," he said.

Earlier, the PTI chief had said that forms 14 and 15 were missing from ballot bags in the constituency.  However, Imran said he had heard of reports of the forms now being found.

"Where were they found? They should have been found in the ballot bags. This is yet another violation of the election commission." he said.

Imran condemns Charlie Hebdo  


The PTI chief condemned the printing of the cartoon of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) in French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.

"When people say something against the holocaust, it's not freedom of speech. But when they say something against Muslims, then it's counted as freedom of speech," a visibly agitated Imran said.

Progress in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa

Imran, in response to a question regarding progress in K-P, said progress in the province is not seen by others because the government does not advertise it.

"The reason achievements in K-P are not seen is because we don't spend our money on advertisements," he added.

"I would like to assure you that the people in K-P have seen a definite difference in development in the province," Imran said.
