ISLAMABAD: Upon his return from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan Tehreek-i-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan once again trained his guns on former chief justice Iftikhar Chaudhry and Justice (retd) Khalilur Rehman Ramday, alleging them of supervising rigging carried out during the May 2013 General Elections.

"Iftikhar Chaudhry and Justice (retd) Ramday controlled the returning officers ... both of them should be tried under Article 6," the PTI chief said, while talking to reporters in Islamabad on Saturday.

Speaking on the former chief justice's Rs20 billion libel notice, Imran said he was waiting for Iftikhar Chaudhry to face him in the court. "Iftikhar Chaudhry is a traitor to democracy, I will prove this in the court," he said.

"How did it happen that PML-N grabbed 6.8 million votes in 2008 elections and in 2013 they ended up with more than 15 million votes," questioned the PTI chief, alleging that this happened because of the rigging carried out by returning officers under the supervision of the former chief justice.

This is not the first time Imran has levelled allegations against Chaudhry and Ramday. Last year in August, the PTI chief had named Iftikhar Chaudhry, Khalilur Rehman Ramday, former caretaker chief minister of Punjab Najam Sethi and officials of the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) as having played a role in rigging the 2013 polls.

Later in October, after dismissing allegations as baseless, Ramday had send a legal notice to Imran for defaming him and had demanded an apology.

Your logic that rigging took place because " PML-N grabbed 6.8 million votes in 2008 elections and in 2013 they ended up with more than 15 million votes," does not make any sense and is not a proof of any wrongdoing. There is a simple explanation that PPP got lot of sympathy votes because PPP leader (BBB) died during the campaign. After 5 years of PPP rule people got disillusioned with PPP government and voted for PML-N. Why its so hard for IK to comprehend. He is making fool of himself by making false allegations against a man who waged a war against the dictator and won.

IK asks how is it possible that the PMLN got 6.8m votes in 2009 and 15m in 2013.He seems to argue that it was made possible at the behest of the retired CJ of Pakistan and retired Justice Ramday. The increase in the PLMN vote was about 2.2 times. May I draw the attention of your readers, IK and Justices Chaudry & Ramday of the extraordinary coincidence of a very similar change in favour of the Indian political party BJP in the 2009 and 2014 Indian elections. The BJP vote (neglecting the vote in favour of its allied parties) was 78,435, 538 in 2009 and 171,459,286 in 2014. The increase in the BJP vote in the two elections was about 2.19 times. No Indian political party has alleged rigging. Incidentally, the previous ruling party Congress was humiliated in the same manner as was PPP in Pakistan and the anti-corruption party of Mr Kejriwal got nowhere.

I wonder what Imran's case will be, given that it is likely to prove nigh on impossible to successfully run a justification defence under these circumstances. On the other hand, your average (conservative) Islamabad trial judge is equally unlikely to award any plaintiff 20 billion in damages for loss of reputation, even if they happen to be a celebrity former CJ.

It is Islamic and multicultural. That had a team of lawyers, public spirited individuals and government officials who beat the odds, formed a commission and cleaned up the country.

Whatever the merits of IK's allegation, he has achieved something remarkable - broken the idol of Iftikhar Chaudhry - a figure that was elevated to an undeserved position of reverence whose own son was involved in massive corruption. It is quite conceivable that the CJ was part of a massive rigging as a pay back for NS's calculated and shwred move to restore this flawed figure to power.

IK and his showmanship! Chaudry was no angel rather very competent at corruption but IK lacks substance and craves attention

Peddling the agencies line. This has reduced his stature and left a question mark over Imran's motives and his wisdom. Also his allegations on GEO are totally baseless and show his darker and unknown side that is not what is had been presented to the nation. He even wanted ISI to be part of the commission formed to look into electoral irregularities. This man has morphed into something else, definitely not the Imran we know

IK has 50 percent hand in destabilizing Pakistan economy.The government should bill him for the money spent for security and also all losses in business during dharna.He should also compensate for any death that may have arisen due to his dharna including assault on a journalist by his supporters!

IK should avoid unnecessary trouble and fights with different people specially who are no more relevent on national level anymore, and try to focus on main issues of betterment of PTI and KPK saferty, security and development.

@Raja you must be kidding me. Have you had interaction with Arsalan and Ch. Iftikhar? Ask people familiar with his modus operandi.

We love Imran Khan for all the good things he has done for Pakistan. He has brought hope and shown leadership and courage in the face of adversity. But we should not forget Chief Justice Iftikhar Chuaudry's historical stance against the military dictator. It is disappointing to see IK being pitched against Ch. Justice Chaudhry. People who are encouraging this fight have their own axe to grind. IK should watch out.

Justice Ramday is a honest gentleman. The whole lawyer community knows him very well. IK is fighting the status quo with the force including qureshi, tareen, khakwani, aleem khan, ejaz chaudry, kasuri etc etc...... Pti got two lacs votes in 2002 how could they got seven million votes in 2013.

Imran Khan is always talking about taking action under article 6 of the constitution against those who were involved in election rigging. Let me remind the nation about THIRD UMPIRE Imran Khan was talking about in THARNA. The government should investigate who was behind this conspiracy for toppling the elected government through THIRD UMPIRE and try these elements { Imran Khan, Sheikh Rashid, Roedad Khan etc } under article 6 of the constitution
