ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has refused to accept the election of Punjab chief minister.
In his tweet, PTI Chairman Imran Khan said on Sunday that what happened in the Punjab Assembly was reprehensible. The incident was against all democratic principles and the constitution.
What happened in Punjab Assembly was condemnable & against all democratic norms & constitutional provisions. No one was in the Chair conducting the supposed elections – a total violation of all norms. We reject this sham mafia-captured “elections”. #امپورٹڈ_حکومت_نامنظور

“We reject such a shameful occupation,” he said.
It may be recalled that Hamza Shehbaz was elected Quaid-e-Awan in a tumultuous session of the Punjab Assembly yesterday while PML-Q and PTI boycotted the election.
Yesterday, former prime minister Imran Khan had said that they want to exclude PTI from the match through foreign funding case. I say that foreign funding cases of PPP, PML-N and PTI should be decided. If they push us against the wall, they will be harmed, not the country.
Addressing a rally in Karachi, he said, “I urge all Pakistanis to come together and say that we need elections. If people like Mir Jafar, then they will win. Mir Jafar has to take all kinds of revenge.”
Imran Khan said that only strong institutions make a strong nation. We have to be peaceful, this is our police, this is our army, we have always protested peacefully, our movement will remain peaceful, added.
He said, “I warn you, do not do anything that the movement becomes changed. I tell everyone to teach a lesson to these conscientious objectors in the election.”
He said that your freedom is more important than my life. I want friendship but no one wants slavery. Not against any country, not against Europeans or any other country, only with humanity, he said.
He said that he would not accept the slavery of anyone. Mir Jafar has been imposed on us, Bengal went to the British after the betrayal of Mir Jafar.
