ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman and former Prime Minister Imran Khan on Sunday said that the establishment had not learned from past mistakes as “political engineering” was still underway in Pakistan.
In an address to the women workers convention in Karachi via video link, he reiterated that his party desired free and fair elections in the country. He said that if that happens, a new government of PTI will come if political engineering is not carried out.
Khan terms merger of MQM factions as political engineering
Pointing towards the rumored merger of the factions of Muttahida Qaumi Movemnt and Balochistan Awami party’s members joining Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP), he said that political engineering is underway and similar efforts were afoot to bring Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) into power in Punjab.
He said that a weak setup introduced through such tactics would not be able to steer the country of the current crisis. He echoed the same words about a rumored technocratic government as well.
He said that only a new government with a public mandate would be able to take revolutionary steps and steer Pakistan out of its current woes.
Imran Khan said that he wanted a peaceful revolution through the ballot box in the country.
He once again said that the economic crisis in Pakistan would go beyond the situation in Sri Lanka which has defaulted.
