Imran invites opponents to discuss election date

LAHORE, Dec 02 (NNI): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan on Friday asked his political rivals to announce the date of the next elections while also inviting them to have a meeting with party leaders.
Speaking to the parliamentary party, the former prime minister lamented the rising unemployment rate while asserting that stability would come with the arrival of the new administration. He reiterated that Pakistan was on the verge of default.
The former premier slammed Federal Minister Ishaq Dar for saying he would deal with Moody s because he had since remained silent on the subject. He took a swipe at the coalition government, accusing it of lacking a plan.
Imran raised his voice in support of the farmers’ community, saying, “In our time, the farmers had finally received benefits. But now that diesel prices have skyrocketed, farmers are worried.”
Speaking on the dissolution of assembly, Mr Khan stated that the PTI leadership made this choice for the good of the nation. He questioned whether the current administration wanted the elections to be held in only 66 per cent of the seats, which are in Punjab and KP.
He asserted that the government intended to have him disqualified or imprison him. Imran berated the rulers, claiming that they had stolen Rs1100 billion through the NAB amendment. NNI
