Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf Parliamentarian chief Parvez Khattak Sunday revealed that at least four or five intra-party polls conducted by the Imran Khan-led PTI were fake with just paperwork done for formality.
“There should be democracy in the party, not fraudulent elections,” Khattak said, speaking with media in Peshawar.
The senior politician’s comments come a day after the PTI elected Barrister Gohar Khan as its new chairman of the party after his nomination was made by none by ex-chief Imran Khan himself, who currently remains behind bars in multiple cases and stands disqualified following his trial in Toshakhana case.
Continuing his onslaught, Khattak pointed towards the lack of democracy in the party.
“Former chairman PTI did not tolerate anyone ahead of him,” he said. The former chief minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa said Khan wanted a presidential system in Pakistan and not elections.
He also criticised the former PTI chairman’s act of disclosing a state secret by waving the cipher in a public rally last year, a case for which he is currently under trial.
“We take an oath and promise not to disclose any secrets. The ex-chairman committed treason and violated the constitution by waving the cipher.”
Khattak insisted that Khan be registered in a case of terrorism.
Recalling the time of Khan’s ouster and the subsequent end of his government, the PTI-P chief said: “When his government ended, we did not have a majority.”
Therefore, Khattak added, the former PTI chairman thought he would not let the country run and wanted to spread chaos in the country.
