Pakistan: Imran accuses ECP of colluding with govt to disqualify him
GBNEWS24DESK//
Former Pakistan prime minister Imran Khan on Friday accused the election body of colluding with the government to disqualify him in the concealment of assets in the Toshakhana case and vowed to continue fighting against “thieves”.
The Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) in its unanimous verdict declared that Khan was involved in concealing proceeds from the sale of gifts he purchased from the Toshakhana at a discounted rate.
Khan issued a recorded message after chairing two back-to-back meetings of his Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf party at his Banigala residence in the suburbs of Islamabad after his disqualification.
The cornered former premier stated that he knew that the ECP was going to target him as it already lost neutrality after its chief Sikandar Sultan Raja became a mouthpiece of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz.
“The entire nation took to the streets against the illegal decision by the ECP,” he said and announced to challenge the verdict in the Islamabad High Court.
