Islamabad: Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan said that general elections must be held in the country under the supervision of a neutral chief election commissioner (CEC), reported local media.
Claiming that the selected government has been imposed on the masses through planning and plotting, he said that an election must be held as soon as possible, otherwise, democracy will suffer a huge blow, reported Geo News.
Imran Khan, however, added that the polls should be conducted under the supervision of a suitable chief election commissioner (CEC). Notably, this comes after last week he called CEC Sikandar Sultan Raja PML-N’s agent.
Dismissing the allegations of his government being incompetent, he said, We had been hearing those remarks for three-and-a-half years. My only demand is to conduct the election under the chairmanship of a neutral CEC. Let the people decide [the country’s fate].
Further, reiterating that the Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf’s (PTI) government was toppled through a conspiracy, he said that a commission should be formed under the chairmanship of the chief justice of Pakistan to probe the matter.
A sitting prime minister has been ousted through a conspiracy, therefore, all state institutions should look into the matter as it has turned out to be a huge setback for the country, the media outlet quoted him as saying.
Speaking on the involvement of the US in ensuring his ouster through the no-confidence motion, he said that he is not anti-America or any other country.
The United States often instigates regime change for its own benefits, not for the benefit of the countries involved, he said, claiming that he knows every character involved in the conspiracy.
