Chairman Pakistan Tahreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Imran Khan on Monday appealed to the Supreme Court to take up pending case of Asghar Khan which involved distribution of huge funds by the secret agencies among the politicians to sway results of general elections during 1988.
Addressing a press conference along with Asghar Khan at his residence, he said that he appealed to the Chief Justice of Pakistan to take up the case as it would bring the cat out of the bag, unfolding myth about secret disbursement of huge amounts by the ISI among the politicians.
He said the PTI was wrongly being targeted as being the beneficiary party bagging funds from the secret agencies, but if Asghar Khan's case was decided, it would clear ambiguity over flow of secret funds to politicians of that specific period.
"If it is proved that I or my party have accepted any secret funding, I will quit politics," he announced in adamant tone, besides, supporting formation of a Commission to probe accumulation of assets by the politicians.
He also warned that they would not tolerate creation of any kind of hurdle in holding of PTI public gathering in Karachi scheduled for December 25.
"I will like to warn those elements who are hell bent upon sabotaging the rally that we would stage public gathering at any cost," he added.
Criticising Sharif borthers, he said they should inform the nation about distribution of plots among 'Changa Manga' people (in veiled reference to issue of horse trading among members of parliament who were taken to Changa Manga during formation of past central government by the PML).
Clarifying his position over possession of a plot, he said Nawaz Sharif had awarded the plot after he won 'Man of the Series' in India.
He also lambasted leader of opposition in National Assembly Chaudhry Nisar by saying that he was a big liar as he usually dealt with unfair things.
Underlining the need for formation of an impartial election commission, he said that they had provided clear proofs of rigging in Lahore by-elections, but the election commission did not take prompt action, forcing PTI to boycott the election.
"I want to make it clear to rulers that if the upcoming elections are not held in impartial and transparent manner, the young lot of the country will not allow the future set up to function," he said, adding, that leaders of both larger parties were not politicians as they had been introducing their scions to politics as a ploy to retain hold on party affairs.
Announcing his future course of action for the upcoming general elections, the PTI chairman, said about one thousand candidates, having eighty per cent young faces, would be fielded in all constituencies of the country.
Feeling satisfaction in his decision to select party leaders, Khan said that he was the best selector of an ideal team.
He also justified his stance over holding of peace dialogue with the militants of tribal areas.
Praising role of Asghar Khan, the former veteran Pakistan cricket team skipper, said the support of such political stalwart would really boost his party.
On the occasion, Air Marshal retired Asghar Khan announced his resignation from Tahreek i Istaqlal party leadership and cautioned PTI chairman to remain vigilant against imminent polls riggings in the upcoming general elections.
Citing election results of 1964, 1970, 1977, 1988, 1988 and 1990, he said public mandate was bulldozed to gain favoured results by hidden forces.
Imran Khan could be harbinger of revolution in the country which was currently confronted with host of teeming financial crises and lawlessness, he pronounced.
