Ex-premier Imran Khan has criticised the ECP for depriving his party of reserved seats, terming the move “unconstitutional” and “contradictory to the democracy”. He questioned the legal basis on which reserved seats were allocated to those parties which were not entitled.
The PTI founder demanded audit of four constituencies, including the Lahore constituencies of Nawaz Sharif and Aun Chaudhry and the one in Peshawar from where Noor Alam was declared successful.
He quoted Khawaja Asif as alleging that former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa had asked the then-opposition to topple the PTI government. Imran also claimed Gen Bajwa had offered him reward for ‘behaving nicely’, but he rejected the offer.
