He said that the US Congress had passed a resolution on the irregularities in the general elections, which was supported by 85 percent of Congress members. He said that even the biggest and most powerful Israeli lobby in the world could not get a resolution passed in their support from the US house.

He noted that a statement from the human rights body of the United Nations had also made the same demand. According to him, the Chief Election Commissioner had been appointed to cover up the rigging.

Imran said that the whole nation was saying that the general elections were fraudulent. The whole world was also saying the same thing that Pindi commissioner said during his press conference and former prime minister Anwarul Haq Kakar said to PML-N leader Hanif Abbasi. He alleged that an attempt was being made to get arbitrary decisions by appointing retired judges to the election tribunals.

He said that the country can only be saved by the investment of overseas Pakistanis, because they have dollars. Due to the current situation, professionals are leaving the country, he added.

The PTI founder said that there was no forward block in PTI and it is a party that was formed and established on the strength of its vote. He said the basis of the differences in the party was misunderstanding and on Thursday, both groups have been called to Adiala Jail for a meeting.

He said that when he gets out of jail, he will take up the matter of return of party deserters. According to him, differences in the party are not a big problem while Omar Ayub has great services for the party.
