ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf Chairman Imran Khan said the disqualification of former Prime Minister Gilani was a victory for the constitution and law.

 

However according to Khan the problem would not be solved with a new prime minister and early elections were the only solution.

 

During a news conference the PTI chairman further said that the judiciary had fulfilled its obligation by ensuring the supremacy of law. When asked about the memogate scandal, Khan replied that the involvement of Husain Haqqani had been proven and now it remained to be seen what role was played by President Zardari.

 

Imran Khan also announced that his party would launch a protest movement against inflation and loadshedding from Faisalabad on June 27.

Is load shedding and inflation just started happening? IK is following simply PML(N) to cut their vote bank especially in Punjab.IK has no program but only agenda is to help Zardari and MQM by opposing Nawaz Sharif.We are badely disappointed from Imran Khan

Very well statement by Imran Khan Appreciation the power and action of SC is well liked by all. Ex PM deserved more than this punishment. Imran Khan is forgetting one very important point i.e. changes made in the Constitution that ELECTIONS WITHIN THE POLITICAL PARTIES ARE NOT NECESSSARY WHY WHY ITS NOT A DEMOCRACY IF THE PARTIES DO NOT HOLD ELECTIONS WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTIES. This is very important point to play politics..

Agree, New Elections are the need of the hour as it makes no sense under the present circustances to bring another PM for few more months thru the current assemblies that have done nothing for the nation in the last almost 5 yrs. Their term is almost over and people are already going out of control under the present way of set up. So yes new elections within 3-months will bring new hope to the people and hopefully new leadership like Imran Khan.
