VEHARI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan warned of protests again if Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) failed to come up with a response regarding his 40 questions.
Addressing the Kisan Convention in Vehari on Saturday, Khan said, “It will be our compulsion to take to the streets if ECP failed to satisfy us on these points.”
“Today we are announcing that we will be uniting farmers across Pakistan. We will stand with them. If we want economic growth in the country, we will have to help our farmers first.”
Khan said there was so much potential in Pakistan and “if we lift our poor and farmers , we can turn the country around.” “We can use flood waters in water reservoirs; we as a nation have to decide how to use water better.”
Global warming is rapidly taking place; we have to decide as a nation to decide how to use water from melting glaciers, he warned.
The PTI chief said that India and China had invested heavily on their respective farmers to combat poverty and improve economy.
Khan announced that his party, if came into power, would set up a Rs5 billion cotton research institute. The institute, he explained, would be run by the members of farmers community.
