Former prime minister and founder of Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has suggested that the name of PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif should be placed on the Exit Control List (ECL) until the election, expressing concern that if Sharif loses, he might attempt to flee to London once again.
Addressing the media at Adiala Jail on Wednesday, he said that the scenes on February 8, the election day, will be shocking for his opponents. Regarding his covert ‘Plan C,’ he mentioned its confidentiality before the elections to prevent interference by external forces.
Khan referred to the Holy Quran once again, highlighting the consequences for societies that deviate from the principles of good and evil. He noted that the Quran mentions hypocrites aligning with evil and opposing good, emphasising that a just society is essential for development.
Imran commented on the ongoing “software updates” by authorities, stating that individuals are being picked up, and it is later revealed that their “software has been updated”.
He cited the case of PTI’s leadership facing challenges, including the theft of their electoral symbol ‘bat’ and the allocation of undesirable symbols to PTI candidates.
The PTI founder questioned the focus on PTI members’ arrests related to the May 9 riots, urging authorities to inquire about alleged misconduct by figures like Maryam Nawaz and Asif Ali Zardari. Imran stressed the need for the Supreme Court to investigate human rights violations, particularly the registration of FIRs against PTI candidates during election campaigns.
