Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf leader Sher Afzal Marwat said on Friday that the party’s protest on Saturday will not be joined by any other party. He also said that the Supreme Court can settle the controversy over elections in a single day if it wants to.
Speaking to Shaukat Piracha on Aaj News on Friday, Marwat said that the contact between JUI and PTI was part of a political process.
He acknowledged that ties between Maulana Fazal ur Rehman and Imran Khan had always been strained because of a lot of different reasons. He added that PTI had never heard anything good from Maulana.
Marwat said that events have tried to bring the two parties together. He said that Maulana had said two things that were exactly what PTI was saying: that elections were rigged and should be protested.
He said that the delegation to the JUI had gone with the intention of joining forces.
Marwat said that this had been the first time that the Maulana had not made fun of PTI’s delegation. He said that perhaps Maulana does not have any other ways either.
He said that the PTI believed that all democratic forces who want the end of rigging in Pakistan should be part of the protest.
The PTI leader said that Pakistan was being under a ‘rule of jungle’ which will have to end.
Marwat said that if the PMLN claimed that PTI had digitally altered Form 45, it was easy to clear up the issue.
He said that both parties could submit their form 45 in the Election Commission of Pakistan and should be forensically examined by NADRA.
Marwat said that the forms carry a thumb impression the impressions cannot be counterfeited.
He added that PMLN was doing everything out of a hunger for power. He said that if the PTI wanted government, it could have made a deal with PPP.
However, Imran Khan had described the struggle of the party as one of principles and not power, Marwat said.
The PTI leader also added that PMLN had won 20 seats at the most and was shamelessly trying to form governments in Punjab and centre.
Marwat said that no elections can be fair in the future if the wrong results of this election are not rectified.
He said that the problem can be fixed by the ECP or by the higher judiciary. He said that no case in Pakistan carried more public importance right now.
Marwat said that if the SC wants to see rule of law in the country, the case is not complicated enough to take more than one day.
He said that all Forms 45 should be sent to the ECP who should be asked to generate a report on whose form was real and whose was fake.
Marwat said that all candidates from a constituency can be called to verify their Form 45.
However, he said that Imran Khan had chosen not to exercise the option of long march and protests should be held in the enire country first.
