To a question, Imran asserted that the recently held by-elections, by no mean, could be a mirror of the upcoming general elections.

Meanwhile, addressing members of Insaf professional Forum in Gujranwala, Imran claimed that the tsunami of change would sweep away plunderers of the national wealth, feudallords and the discriminatory system
"Professionals can play a vibrant role in government institutions. Railway can be run efficiently by professionals but it is ruined by the Ministry of Railways. Similarly, today's worst condition of PIA can be averted if it was in hands of professionals instead of the Ministry of Defence," the PTI chief said.
Imran pulled his guns on the both ruling parties in the Centre as well as in Punjab, alleging that both the parties leaderships didn't know the pulse of the people.
He pointed out that both Nawaz Sharif and Asif Zardari were equally responsible for the economic slaughter of people of Pakistan.
"PTI was the only political party who protested against the election of "renowned corruption master Zardari" as President of Pakistan; I personally called Nawaz Sharif to join in the protest but due to his under hand deal, he refused", Imran recalled. Imran went bombastic saying that Nawaz Sharif blamed PTI as being supported by agencies after seeing gathering of masses in Lahore on October 30th but the verdict in Asghar Khan case had proved who had taken money from agencies.
He said that Nawaz-Zardari alliance had been continued for the past five years and they had done nothing for the poor. The PTI chief said that even all government parties could not stop the tsunami of change and people now know the real faces of both Nawaz and Zardari and they can no more hoodwink the public through their fake fight.
He pointed out that Nawaz Sharif ruled Punjab five times and also served as prime minister twice but he did nothing for the poor. What change he is claiming to bring in his new Pakistan," argued Imran Khan, adding that "Like an incapable man, Nawaz is continuously copying the slogans raised by the PTI. We used the term 'New Pakistan', Nawaz copied it very next day, we focused youth, they started distributing laptops purchased from public money, some singers sung in PTI gatherings, now the Punjab CM himself has started singing in women colleges", the PTI chairman claimed.
He remarked that ostensibly Nawaz Sharif behaved like a Mughal emperor and asked him to share details of assets and tax returns of his entire family with the people of Pakistan and bring his all wealth in Pakistan if he believed in a new Pakistan.
Imran Khan specifically pointed towards the youngsters present in the public meeting in a large number and said that the youth were the real ambassadors of the change process.
