PTI wants caretaker set-up to be decided through consultation: Imran

Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) wishes consultation for setting up the caretaker government before the next general elections.  

Imran Khan said, “The provincial and federal caretaker governments of 2013 were formed behind closed doors, noting that it held ‘unfair elections’. That is why consultation is required for the caretaker set-up this time.”

While speaking to media persons, Imran Khan said that PTI would not form any alliance with ‘money launderers and thieves’ and the party will begin its election campaign on April 29, 2018.

He appreciated the Pakistan Army’s stance of supporting democracy and said that it’s for first time that Army is supporting democracy in the country.

Furthermore, he also asked about the means Nawaz Sharif used to acquire properties abroad.

He remarked, "Nawaz Sharif admitted to owning four flats in London after the Panama Papers case."

“But how did Sharif, a three-time prime minister, get the money to buy four flats in London? Nawaz Sharif should explain how he sent money abroad to buy flats in London." he added.

He further added, "The discovery of illegal money turned democracy into a threat for Nawaz Sharif, he is staging a drama now. He knows he has been caught now."

Chairman PTI supported the Chief Justice of Pakistan (CJP), saying, “Justice Saqib Nisar's recent actions are due to other departments not doing their own work properly".
