After Eid, PTI will take to the streets. Asad Qaiser

In an interview with Meher Bukhari for KHABAR programme, he stated that the core committee will reconvene on April 12 to conclude items pertaining to the countywide protests.

The Sunni Ittehad Council, Majlis-e-Wadhat-e-Muslimeen (MWM), Mahmood Khan Achakzai, and Akhtar Mengal have also been in discussions with the party.

According to Qaiser, the PTI will also speak with Maulana Fazlur Rehman, the leader of Jamiat Ulama-e-Islam Fazl (JUI-F), and Liaquat Baloch of Jamaat-e-Islami (JI).

He stated that the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) has failed in its constitutional and legal duties and is simply there to keep the PTI out of the system, accusing the ECP of turning into a party opposed to them.

Qaiser said that the ECP was holding recounts in constituencies where his party’s candidates had won in an effort to award the seats to the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N), calling the ECP’s rulings against the PTI abhorrent.

The PTI’s mandate was purportedly stolen through electoral manipulation on February 8, according to the former Speaker of the National Assembly, and that is why the ECP was not seeking a recount.

It is important to note that the opposition members’ plea led the provincial election commissioner in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to postpone the Senate elections.

Following consultation with Chief Electoral Commissioner Sikandar Sultan Raja, Provincial Election Commissioner Shamshad Khan declared that the Senate elections in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa would be postponed.

Since there was still disagreement regarding the sworn-in of the opposition members of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Assembly who had been elected to reserved seats, the opposition members had moved the ECP.

He claims that a leader of the Pakistan People’s Party (PPP) told him that efforts were on to lower the party’s representation in the assembly.

The PTI spokesperson quoted the PPP leader, who wished to remain anonymous, and stated that the attempts were made to give the PML-N a majority.

Qaiser emphasised the need for judicial inquiry in view of the pressures on the judiciary, the role of the ECP, and the threats against the PTI leadership, among the many concerns that the nation faces.
