PTI will never compromise on people’s will: Imran Khan
RAWALPINDI/ISLAMABAD, Feb 13 (SABAH): Founding Chairman of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf and former prime minister Imran Khan in his message sent from jail through his family has said that he expresses his heartfelt gratitude to the people of Pakistan for entrusting PTI with a resounding 2/3rd majority. The statement has been released through PTI Secretariat. “PTI will never compromise on people’s will, and I have categorically instructed my party against engaging with any political party that has robbed people’s mandate, including PPP, PMLN & MQM” imran Khan said.
Imran Khan said that it was heartening to see the massive turnout. The families voting together, including women and children—truly exemplified the essence of democracy.
“I would like to especially commend our Social Media for its relentless efforts to stay ahead of the curve” he said. “I also appreciate the role of the resilient polling agents who secured form 45 in the face of harassment and threats” Imran Khan said.
He said that as the people of Pakistan have clearly pronounced their verdict, there is a dire need for democracy and fairness in Pakistan’s elections. “I warn against the misadventure of forming a government with stolen votes. Such daylight robbery will not only be a disrespect to the citizens, but will also push the country’s economy further into a downward spiral” he said.
Meanwhile Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) demanded the public mandate must be respected because it was pre-requisite for survival and strength of the state and Imran Khan should be released instantly since he was the only leader who could pull the country out of the prevailing quagmire of problems.
PTI Spokesperson made it clear that the elements who were hell-bent on desecration and snatching the mandate of the people to impose the criminals were enemies of the country because such attempts would further wide fissure between the state and the people, which would further weaken the state. He hinted that there was possibility of talks with everyone to bring political and economic stability in the country provided the stolen mandate was returned to the real representatives and rightful people of the country.
PTI Spokesperson stated that the people, especially the young generation, under the leadership of PTI Founding Chairman, gave PTI the right of their representations in unequivocal manner, ignoring it would be tantamount to the enmity with the county. He went on to say that the nation had given a clear and unwavering expression of Imran Khan’s leadership with their power of votes and only he had the ability to bring Pakistan out of the current untold crises.
