Imran Khan, PTI foundation day, Youm-e-Tasees

LAHORE: Former premier and Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chief Imran Khan has vowed to bring reforms to the justice system after coming into power with a heavy mandate, ARY News reported on Tuesday.

While addressing PTI workers on the occasion of the party’s 27th foundation day, Imran Khan challenged all political parties to contest elections and let the nation choose their rulers.

Reminding the past struggle, Imran Khan said that he won only one seat in the 2002 general elections and 90% of workers left his political party and 95% of workers left the political party after contesting the second general polls.

“We had boycotted the 2008 general elections and people thought that the party’s future has ended. We won the 2018 general elections and ruled the country for 3.5 years.”

Khan added that PTI staged a historical power show at Minar-e-Pakistan. “Not a single political party has organised such a massive power show at Minar-e-Pakistan so far.”

The former premier criticised that ‘criminals are now making decisions regarding the fate of the country. He added that democracy and prosperity cannot be brought to the country without a powerful justice system.

He said that overseas Pakistanis are the biggest asset of the country. He added that the country would not need foreign financial aid if a large number of overseas nationals make investments in Pakistan.

Khan said that overseas nationals lack confidence in the prevailing system. Pakistan will not see any change if the corrupt people remain undefeated, said the PTI chief.

“Those people blocked the path of electronic voting machines (EVMs) system who want vote rigging. I am challenging all political parties to contest elections and let the nation choose their rulers.”

Aid workers have called it the “forgotten war”. On April 15, army chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and his former deputy Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who commands the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces, turned their weapons on each other. Two years after the former allies co-engineered a 2021 coup sidelining civilians from power, their forces have killed more than 12,190 people in their brutal struggle for power, according to the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED). That figure is only a c
