PILDAT says Feb 8 polls record lowest fairness score since 2013

  The Pakistan Institute of Legislative Development and Transparency (PILDAT) has issued a report detailing its assessment of the recently-concluded general election, expressing deep concerns over a decline in fairness scores compared to previous election cycles.

Yes, I advised Arshad to leave Pakistan, Imran Khan

 


An overwhelming three days after the tragic murder of journalist Arshad Sharif in Kenya sent shockwaves across the nation, many are still fixated on debates involving what the victim did while he was alive instead of determining the realities behind his death.

Responding to ruckus gaining traction over who had asked the hardcore critic to flee the country, PTI Chairman and former prime minister Imran Khan has record-breakingly exclaimed, 

                                   “Yes, it was me!” 

In an exclusive one-on-one conversation with Daily Times Group Editor Kazam Khan, the PTI chairman asserted on Wednesday that even though he stands by his claims, no one has dared asked him why he advised Mr Sharif to leave the motherland as early as possible. 

“Call me on any forum of your liking and I will bring to light all the details,” he continued. 

Mr Khan wondered why those taking great interest in the naming game hesitated in finding answers about the life-threatening circumstances braved by a “patriot who never compromised his conscience.” 

When asked about what he planned to achieve by taking on the citadel via his much-talked-about long march, Mr Khan talked about his resolve to show the strength of the public to the international community. 

“Once those supporting the fight for Haqiqi Azadi reach Islamabad, their numbers alone would be enough to reflect what the Pakistanis want: an early election.” 

That Pakistan is not a Banana Republic needs to be said out to the world, otherwise, the critical significance of the public mandate would be lost once and for all, he explained. 

It was during the course of this crucial meeting that Mr Khan was pointed to a text message with details about the controversial press conference of PTI leader Faisal Vawda. 

Once seemingly aware of what beans he was about to spill, he could not help but smirk, “When given a chance in the midst of extraordinary battles, ordinary pawns tend to bite off far more than they can chew.”
