Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah said Friday that a criminal case will be filed against Imran Khan after he was declared ineligible in the Toshahkhana reference.

“I pay tribute to the members of the Election Commission of Pakistan for giving the best decision,” the interior minister said addressing a press conference in Islamabad.

The minister said that ECP’s decision had exposed Imran Khan’s corrupt practices.

He asked the parliamentarians and all the organizations of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) to take to streets in their respective areas in a peaceful manner to express solidarity with the ECP.

Sanaullah said Imran Khan and his cronies should refrain from creating difficulties in people’s lives. He said the nation should recognize this maniac and every individual and all institutions should play their due role in eradication of this evil.

The minister said Imran Khan was pursuing a foreign and anti-state agenda. He said all law enforcement agencies, especially Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa police, should stand by the state instead of becoming minions to Imran Khan and his cronies.

He said foreign funding case, audio leaks and Toshakhana reference had exposed PTI Chairman Imran Khan.

“Khan’s fake narratives will smash down in the general elections to be held on time after completion of constitutional tenure of the current government,” the interior minister said.

It should be noted that the Election Commission has disqualified Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Imran Khan for five years in the Tosha Khana reference.
