PTI chief Imran Khan has said if elections are not held, it would not affect his party, but he is concerned that the incumbent government could leave the country heading towards “economic chaos”.

In an interview with PBS, he said, “If they (the government) don’t hold elections immediately, it doesn’t bother my party, because we are gaining all the time.

“But our worry is that they will leave the country in a … state where it will be beyond anyone’s control.”

The PTI chief said if the current government “goes the whole way, fine, we will wait.

“My only concern is that, the way things are going, we could be heading toward chaos. I mean economic chaos”.

He also said the PTI’s protest in Rawalpindi would be “completely peaceful”.
