Addressing the public via video address today, Imran said that the election commissioner had trapped PTI in two cases — foreign funding and the Toshakhana reference.

The PTI chief, while slamming the Election Commission of Pakistan’s verdicts in the two cases, said that he could “guarantee that it will be proven that I have not done anything unlawful”.

Imran alleged that those who had done illegal things were allowed to go scot-free.

He claimed that with the help of former prime minister Yousaf Raza Gillani, former president Asif Ali Zardari and former prime minister Nawaz Sharif took “four expensive cars” from the Toshakhana, which was illegal.

Imran requested for his cases in the Supreme Court to be heard so that there can be “trust in the system of justice”.
