TOBA TEK SINGH: Federal Interior Minister Rana Sanaullah says two provincial assemblies’ early elections will create new controversies that may lead to chaos and anarchy in the country.

Addressing a press conference in Faisalabad on Sunday, he said there was an `effort’ to hold elections in the entire country simultaneously. He said PTI had dissolved both the provincial assemblies to spread anarchy.

He said Imran Khan was telling lies in front of the entire nation and used abusive language against some senior police officers. “He also used foul language against Maryam Nawaz.”

He said Maryam Nawaz had exposed IK with evidence and now the PTI chief was worried that Maryam would expose him further.

Rana Sanaullah said that IK had promoted a culture of hurling abuses at opponents.

He said IK along with a mob had attacked the judicial complex in Islamabad. “IK wants to put pressure on courts by leading violent mobs.”

The interior minister further said that Khan was involved in huge corruption he committed through Farah Gogi who earned billions in postings and transfers in Punjab.
