ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Organizer Omar Ayub Khan and PTI Parliamentary Leader in the Senate, Barrister Ali Zafar thanked the people of Pakistan on behalf of PTI Chairman-for-life Imran Khan for speaking via massive turnout for vote despite every possible method employed to undermine the will of the people.
In the joint statement, they stated that despite use of the worst state interference in the electoral process and pre-poll rigging, PTI Founding Chairman showed Pakistan a new path by expressing his unwavering faith in the constitution, law and democracy.
Both the leaders expressed serious concerns as polling process in several constituencies across the country, especially in Karachi, were delayed due to constant obstructions.
However, they lauded that the people had shown their full confidence in Imran Khan and his true agenda of “Haqeeqi Azadi” through their power of votes despite the worst pre-election rigging attempts and creating numerous other hurdles.
Omar and Barrister Ali Zafar stated that the preliminary results were very encouraging, which clearly showed that PTI was taking a convincing lead on overwhelming seats across the country.
However, they said that after clear and visible chances of victory of Imran Khan’s candidates in the preliminary results, the process of results got slowdown alarmingly, besides surfacing reports of closure of the screens in the offices of returning officers, which was very concerning.
They warned that an attempt to steal people’s mandate through a closed-room conspiracy would have very negative and fatal consequences.
They pointed out that the fugitive, who was brought back to the country under the London plan through the state patronage, was facing a clear defeat on both the constituencies like his party in the much-needed general elections.
Both the leaders warned that the public would never accept any attempt such as like in 2013 arranging a victory speech for ladle despite his party clear defeat under closed-room conspiracy.
They made it clear that people would not accept any attempt to forcibly convert the defeat into victory through polls manipulation come what may.
PTI leaders called upon the workers that they should not fall under any illusion and should only focus on getting signed and sealed results, adding that candidates and workers neither should leave the polling stations without obtaining the signed and stamped Form 45 nor leave the offices of the ROs without obtaining the stamped Form 47.
They urged that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) should ensure immediate release of the results rather than working as a facilitator to tamper with the election results, adding that any such poll manipulating bids would neither accept the PTI nor the nation would tolerate the.
PTI leaders stated that PTI was emerging as the lead party both in the center and provinces and would form governments conveniently, which would ensure release of their beloved leader from unlawful incarceration and elect him as prime minister of Pakistan once again.
