The government has set up a joint investigation team over the Islamabad riots, Interior Minster Rana Sanaullah said on Thursday.
Imran Khan attacked the judicial complex with armed groups, he stressed while addressing a press conference.
instead of facing the law, Imran Khan is using tricks, he said, adding that Imran Khan has several cases of corruption including kickbacks, foreign funding, Toshakhana and concealing facts.
Imran Khan has been on a campaign for snap polls since his ouster from the prime minister's house in April last year. He was ousted through a no-confidence motion. He has been blaming the regime change on a US-backed plot while the US has been denying any wrongdoing.
Addressing the joint session of the parliament yesterday, the minister stressed that if elections are not held simultaneously, there will be a crisis in the country. He added that the crises have been created and a party and its leader are behind this.
He recalled that anti-national activities began in 2014 and from 2013 to 2018, every day a situation was created that could harm the state. “Imran Khan was brought to power by manipulating the election. There is no fault of the current government in the current economic situation."
He said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif called for joint efforts and invited all the parties to join hands for overcoming the economic crisis but one party and its leader showed resistance.
He added armed groups attacked Islamabad to create anarchy. He cited the cypher issue and bid to influence key postings. The minister said Imran khan has to answer the questions related to the Toshakhana, foreign funding and concealing the facts.
He stressed that state organs should be empowered to deal with armed groups and terrorists.
He continued: "Holding the election in 90 days is the responsibility of the Election Commission and it has been mulling over the matter keeping in mind the ground realities. It is absolutely wrong that we do not want elections. We want elections under the constitution.
