ISLAMABAD: Imran Khan says he was willing to talk the government but added that how could he and Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) expect a government that has come to power after rigging the elections to ensure that justice is done.

In an interview to the BBC, Imran called for the formation of a caretaker government — composed of non-political people — which can implement electoral reforms and call fresh elections.

The PTI chairman said the Supreme Court could order the formation of the caretaker government in response to a question as to whether the army was going to implement these changes.

We do not accept an investigative commission which has members of the government in its ranks, Imran said.

He said Nawaz Sharif did not want to resign because he was worried about his businesses in the country and was afraid of getting exposed.

Responding to a question, Khan said his supporters would continue to be here and if they began to disperse then he would leave it to that time.
