ISLAMABAD: Calling Imran Khan's political campaign a 'defeated' tsunami, Punjab Law Minister Rana Sanaullah said the strings were being pulled by the country's establishment, DawnNews reported.

Speaking to media representatives outside the Punjab Assembly on Wednesday, the provincial minister said that the Pakistan Tehrik-i-Insaaf (PTI) had disappointed the youth by inviting old faces from the Pakistan Muslim League - Quaid (PML-Q) to their 'movement for change.'

He added that the participants of Imran Khan and Khursheed Kasuri's rally in Kasur were not PTI supporters.

Commenting on a question on the Pakistan Muslim League - Nawaz's demand for early elections, Sanaullah said the sooner the elections took place the better.

Answering another question on the recent Defence of Pakistan Conference by the Difaa-i-Pakistan Council (PDC) in Lahore, Sanaullah said an inquiry report had already been requested from security agencies regarding the presence of flags of banned organisations.
