Ready for simultaneous polls if assemblies dissolved before May 14: Imran Khan

Warns nation won’t remain silent anymore if govt rejects SC’s decision

Says massive public response a warning to those thinking of defying SC, Constitution

LAHORE ( Web News )

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and prime minister Imran Khan has reiterated that they are ready for simultaneous elections if the government dissolves assemblies before May 14 otherwise; he added that they would not remain silent if anyone tries to break the constitution and go against the apex court.

PTI Chairman Imran Khan said that the imported government should confirm the dissolution of assemblies before May 14 in the next round of talks or else the PTI would take to the streets.

Speaking at a huge public rally on Labour Day on Monday, Imran Khan vowed that PTI would stand with the Constitution if the rulers try to run away from elections and violate the constitution.  However, he stated that the government wanted to hold elections when they believed he would be out of their way. Their only aim was to take him out of the way. “We have always staged peaceful protests due to the deteriorated economic situation. If they break the Constitution then there would the law of jungle in Pakistan,” he added.

PTI Chairman stated: “This country is heading fast towards destruction and unemployment is rising with each passing day. If they reject the Supreme Court’s decision then the nation will come out of their homes with me.” Congratulating PTI workers and the people of Lahore for holding this wonderful rally, Imran Khan said that PTI was holding the rally to show solidarity with the labourers and for the rule of law. “Everything will be clearly seen in the next week whether there is the rule of law in this country or not. PTI will stand with the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP).”

Coming down hard on cabal of crooks, PTI Chairman regreted that he could not stand to give a speech because General Bajwa imposed criminal people on the nation, who (Bajwa) and Dirty Harry together first carried out assignation attempt on him in Wazirabad and then they tried to kill him in the judicial complex of Islamabad.

He said that they would only hold polls after seeing an opportunity to get victorious and removing Imran Khan from their path. “They want to jail Imran Khan or kill him. They attacked Pervaiz Elahi’s home like dacoits after they attacked my home and arrested PTI workers.” “Ali Amin Gandapur is being shifted to different jails and my security officer Iftikhar Ghumman was also arrested. They are arresting PTI workers to weaken our political party.”

Imran Khan added that if the government thinks that it can stall and the PTI will wait, then they are wrong. “We will move the court and demand elections in Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP).” He also warned that Pakistan was currently not in an economic position to withstand a ‘massive street movement’.

Later, Imran Khan has said that they get a massive response from Lahore for May Day rally. PTI Chairman said: “Massive response from Lahore for our May Day rally and this was at the start, as rally is gaining even more momentum now.” “Let this be a warning to those who are thinking of defying SC and Constitution,” he said, adding: “Our people will not tolerate the mafia violating SC orders and Constitution by running away from elections.”

Flexing its muscles, PTI showed its street power by taking out a rally in Lahore in connection with International Workers’ Day. The rally started from Liberty Chowk and ended at Nasir Bagh. According to party sources, the rally, under Mr Khan’s leadership, reached MAO College through Ferozepur Road and ended at Nasir Bagh via Lower Mall Road.

Mr Khan had been advised against coming out of his car to address the participants on grounds of security concerns.

The participants of the rally will be received at Ichhra, Mazang and other places. At the end of the rally, Tehreek-e-Insaf Chairman Imran Khanwill address workers from his car. Instructions have been issued to the leaders and workers from Lahore to participate in the rally.

PTI’s power show in other cities

On the other hand, PTI’s rally in Peshawar, lead by former KP CM Pervaiz Khattak and former NA Speaker Asad Qaisar, started from Gulbahar chowk and concluded at Yadgar chowk.

Mr Khattak, addressing the rally, said it did not seem that the negotiations between the PTI and the PDM-led government would end well.

PTI vice president Shah Mehmood Qureshi lead the party’s rally in Rawalpindi. Addressing the rally, he said the third round would take place on Tuesday adding that the PTI was ready for negotiations. “I want to ask Mr Dar if enjoys Nawaz Sharif’s confidence and if Khawaja Asif is the part of the party too,” he added.

A day earlier, Defence Minister Khawaja Asif said that he did not see a “positive outcome” of the talks. “What will be the result of the negotiations with the PTI as they are setting conditions,” he said. Meanwhile Javed Latif had said talks should never be held with “terrorists” and those who “want to destroy national institutions”.

Mr Qureshi went on to say that the PDM was divided on negotiations adding that it should place its point of view clearly on Tuesday. “If you do not agree, I’ll place the PTI’s suggestions before the SC and then the court will decide on it,” he added.

He said labourers were not getting wage adding that Pakistan’s economy had been destroyed. “The PTI is expressing its solidarity with labourers in different cities,” he added.

The party workers also staged a protest against the census in Karachi.
