ISLAMABAD: Chairman Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan said on Sunday that PTI will hold talks with like minded parties, having vision to make the country free of corruption.

Addressing a press conference here after attending Central Executive Committee meeting, he said the PTI would hold talks with anti-status quo parties, having the vision to make the country free of corruption.

He said presently efforts are being made to strengthen the party. Alliance with any party may be made near general election, not now, he said.

He ruled out any possibility of an alliance with the Pakistan Peoples Party or Pakistan Muslim League- Nawaz in the next general elections.

He also announced to set up a scrutiny committee to probe the assets of the candidates. The responsibility of the committee is to dig out concealed assets of the politicians, who accumulated a lot of money but were reluctant to pay tax.

He claimed that the popularity graph of PTI was increasing day by day, especially after holding a successful public meeting in Lahore on October 30.

The PTI Chairman said that holding of elections would be ensured under an independent election commission, adding, the party would deploy ten youths at each polling booth across the country to monitor the voting process.
