A special message from Adiala Jail by Founder Chairman Tehreek-e-Insaf Imran Khan regarding the implications of a rigged election.
- As a patriotic citizen with a long history of service to the nation, I am deeply concerned and worried about the situation in my country.
- The path towards which Pakistan is being pushed is utter chaos and destruction.
- The ruling elite and the judiciary are not only committing injustice against me or my party Tehreek-e-Insaaf, but they are also causing significant harm to Pakistan.
- The most substantial and immediate repercussion will be felt in our already faltering economy and our agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
- The IMF's commitment of support was contingent upon the conduct of fair and transparent elections.
- National elections are a precious opportunity to get the country out of political and economic crises.
- Clear and transparent elections will open the door to political stability in the country, which is indispensable for economic stability and development.
- Malicious efforts are underway to unlawfully exclude Tehreek-e-Insaf candidates from the elections by illegally rounding them up, confiscating their nomination papers and harassing them.
- Criminal attempts are being made to destroy the political stability by sidelining PTI which is the symbol of the federation and the most popular political party of the country.
- Economic stability cannot be expected in the presence of political instability, which will reduce the chances of successful implementation of the IMF program.
- Democracy gives the people the opportunity to express their opinion and choose the government through the ballot paper.
- During the last 20 months, the people are in a state of grief and anger over the worst violations of fundamental constitutional rights, the destructive economic and administrative policies of the the failed governments, and the deprivation of civil and political liberties.
- As a party that fully believes in the supremacy of the constitution and law and democratic values, Tehreek-e-Insaf managed the anger of the people in a constitutional manner through peaceful political activities and saved the country from chaos.
- If the people are not given the opportunity to express their sentiments constitutionally through free, fair, impartial and transparent elections, it will have dire consequences.
Founder Chairman PTI, Imran Khan
