I’ve no enmity with Nawaz or any other person: Imran

ISLAMABAD: The Chairman of the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), Imran Khan, has said that he has no personal enmity with Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif or any other person.
While talking to the media here on Wednesday outside the Supreme Court (SC) after the Judicial Commission (JC) hearing and then after his meeting with the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) chairman, Imran Khan said that the requirement of the JC had been proven and its decision will lay the foundation of a new Pakistan.
“The JC’s importance has been proven and its decision will lay the foundation of a new Pakistan,” he said, adding: “Our stance is proving right due to the proceedings of the JC. Several new revelations are being made. Casting votes for six times is rigging. Proving rigging is not the job of Election Tribunal. But this decision has to be taken by the JC. We don’t expect any justice from the election tribunals.”
He demanded those who had committed vote frauds in NA-125 be brought to justice. The possibility of curbing rigging without holding the perpetrators accountable stands ruled out. Several revelations are coming to the light in the wake of JC’s proceedings. The constitution of the JC for probing the alleged polls rigging in general elections is a must, he added.
He observed that witnesses are appearing before the JC for the first time in the history of Pakistan and recording their statements. He reiterated that organised rigging had been committed in the general elections. Bags have been torn apart with knives, he alleged.
To a question, he said the PTI will participate in the by-polls in NA-125 and PA-155 with full preparations. But we want those who have manipulated the results of these constituencies and have remained involved in rigging be brought to justice, he stressed, adding that soon it will be revealed that when the second wicket falls.
Imran Khan said that Nadra had prepared the NA-122 forensic report and it will be submitted to the Election Tribunal (ET) next week.The meeting with the Nadra chairman was held to enquire about the forensic reports the authority had to submit to an election tribunal that is investigating the alleged rigging in NA-122 constituency. Imran said the Nadra chief had assured him that the report will be submitted to the election tribunal this week.
However, waving the pre-scan report in front of cameras, Imran said it suggested that ballot books were inscribed with duplicate serial numbers at 50 polling stations. “Polling stations used books with serial numbers that were not meant for them,” claimed the PTI chief.
Responding to a question, he said Nadra was yet to complete its findings on thumbprint verification, and once that was done its report will be completed.Imran said that his party will pursue criminal cases against the returning officers responsible for these irregularities. “It is obvious this was planned; how could the officers not see what was going on?” asked Imran. “These were all last-minute efforts to change the results and opening the ballot boxes has brought out the truth,” he added.
Imran Khan said he would present all these facts before the Judicial Commission probing the alleged rigging in the 2013 general elections, and expressed satisfaction with the commission’s scrutiny.
