ISLAMABAD: Former prime minister Imran Khan on Monday alleged that the Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) was rendezvousing with Hamza Shehbaz and Maryam Nawaz every week to take ‘special orders’ from them.
“The election commission in cahoots with PLMN is secretly gerrymandering to undermine PTI votes in our strongholds so that the ruling party can sweep the polls,” the firebrand Khan bluntly claimed, while addressing a farmers’ convention in the federal capital.
The PTI chairman also contended the present government had lodged FIRs with police against all the members of his party.
Khan said with NAB (National Accountability Bureau) and the FIA (Federal Investigation Agency) abolished, all cases against Shahbaz Sharif and Zardari would be dropped.
Addressing the farmers, he said that the present rulers did not come to the government for the sake of the people and farmers but for themselves.
He further said that Pakistan was a country that could resolve its economic issues by expanding its agriculture production.
He said if the present government did not take a decision soon to import food grains, the country might face serious food shortages.
He stressed that the present government should provide subsidies to the farmers so that they could produce more food grains to avoid a food emergency in the country.
He said that the benefit of giving incentives to the farmers was that last year the production of rice increased by 10 percent, while the production of cotton increased by 17 percent.
