LAHORE
\nPakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan said on Thursday that the Supreme Court bench will make no difference to his party.
\nTaking to Twitter, the deposed premier said, \u201cAll we want to know is if elections will be held within the 90 days\u2019 constitutional provision. Before we dissolved our two provincial assemblies, I consulted our top constitutional lawyers, all of whom were absolutely clear that the 90-day constitutional provision on holding elections was inviolable.\u201d
\nSlamming the political opponents, Mr Khan said, \u201cNow the imported government of crooks, their handlers, and a compromised Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) are making a complete mockery of constitution. By cherry picking which articles of the constitution they will abide by, they are threatening the very foundation of Pakistan, which is the constitution and rule of law.\u201d
\n\u201cSo petrified are they of elections and so desperate to whitewash their convicted leaders that they are prepared to destroy the constitution and any semblance of rule of law,\u201d added Mr Khan. On Wednesday, Mr Khan vowed to forward a reform agenda if his party returns to power.
\nA delegation of retired session judges called on the deposed premier, during which Mr Khan pinched hope for forming the government with a huge mandate in the near future. In connection with the judiciary, Mr Khan said, \u201cIn the past, many of the judges were appointed as ROs. There were also many judges whose job was to deal with anti-corruption cases.\u201d
\nHe stressed the need for providing protection to ordinary citizens, saying, \u201cWe need to think about how we can provide protection to the common citizens.\u201d Mr Khan vowed that his party will ensure the supremacy of law in a bid to develop society \u2013 which is a need of the time.
\nSpeaking about the negotiations, Mr Khan said, \u201cThe PTI is not hesitating in connection with the negotiations. But the objectives behind the dialogues will be the one-point agenda of announcing the elections.\u201d <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
