Islamabad (HRNW) Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan on Monday said that the political parties cannot progress without meritocracy in them. However, he confessed of trying to develop a system within the party but failing at it.
Speaking at the PTI’s National Council meeting in Islamabad, he announced that the PTI will stage protest outside Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) building on Thursday to demand resignation of the chief election commissioner.
Earlier, Punjab and KP assemblies — where the PTI is in power — passed resolutions demanding the resignation of chief election commissioner and other ECP members.
Speaking at the National Council meeting, the PTI chairman took pride how his party has emerged into the ‘biggest political party of Pakistan’.
Pointing guns at the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP), he claimed there was massive rigging in the by-polls in Punjab for 20 Punjab Assembly seats but PTI still emerged victorious.
He said that the top electoral body blocked electronic voting machines (EVMs) as the status quo in the country doesn’t want the elimination of the ‘corrupt’ system existing in the country.
He cited examples of Iran and India which use EVMs in the elections.
PTI chief said his party will protest outside ECP on Thursday to demand resignation of Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Sultan Sikandar Raja.
He said that intra-party elections will be held using technology after general elections in the country.
