Reacting to rumors of setting up a technocratic government, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief and former Prime Minister Imran Khan said, he is not very optimistic about holding general elections in Pakistan. The Dawn report has given this information.
Talking to the media at his residence on Wednesday, the PTI chief said that it is more important to convince the pro-Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government forces than the government itself.
There are rumors about a technocrat government being installed in the country and this compels him to believe that the government is not interested in holding general elections soon, Dawn quoted Khan as saying.
Khan also mentioned that there is no use talking to an "imported government" about holding general elections, referring to the regime of current Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. He said that only the establishment had a role in allowing the elections to take place and that "the establishment means the army chief". Furthermore, he also mentioned that he had no contact with the establishment itself.
The former PM also alleged that the Pakistan Democratic Movement (PDM) government has been reduced to a drawing-room party. According to the Dawn report, Khan warned that 'if any kind of political engineering is attempted in the next general elections, the results will not be good'.
Recalling that the mandate of the largest party in East Pakistan was not accepted, he said that the PTI was the largest political party in Pakistan and that the denial of public opinion would have serious consequences.
The PTI chief had earlier alleged that Gen Bajwa had colluded with Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) leader Asif Ali Zardari and Sindh Chief Minister Murad Ali Shah. Khan said that since both the Pakistan Muslim League Nawaz (PML-N) and the PPP have foreign assets, it is of no use to call it the 'charter of the economy'.
Retired General Qamar Javed Bajwa was also reprimanded by Khan, accusing him of doing great injustice to the country and driving it to default on international loans. He said that the risk of default was five percent under his regime and now it has increased to 90 percent.
