Talks with govt on judicial commission no more fruitful: Qureshi

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan: The Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Vice Chairman Shah Mehmood Qureshi said on Monday that talks with the federal government on the formation of judicial commission to probe rigging 2013 general elections are no more fruitful.

The federal government and the PTI held a series of talks in Islamabad aiming to reach a consensus on the formation of the proposed judicial commission. However, their differences could not be resolved regarding the Terms of Reference (TORs) of the commission.

“We have reached a dead end, negotiations are no more fruitful,” Qureshi said in a press conference along with the party’s Chairman Imran Khan in Islamabad on Monday evening.

On the occasion, Imran Khan urged the Speaker National Assembly Sardar Ayaz Sadiq to resign immediately, saying that he cannot remain the speaker if was elected by rigged elections.

The PTI chairman while commenting on an inquiry report on vote verification of NA-122 from where Ayaz Sadiq won his seat, said that the commission has pointed out that there were 34,376 bogus votes in total.

“…moreover, 128 polling stations did not have Form 14 and Form 15,” he said, adding that voting bags were not sealed in 28 polling stations which is a violation of Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) rules.

Imran Khan also announced that his party will hold a dharna convention on January 18. He said that the PTI will announce its next course of action at the convention.

The PTI leader said that if a proper investigation is not undertaken into alleged rigging in the 2013 general elections, his party will once again lead protests in the country.

“If an impartial judicial commission is not setup, we will take to the streets,” Imran Khan said.  

Federal govt never hesitated to set up judicial commission: Rasheed

Meanwhile, talking to media representatives outside the Parliament House in Islamabad, the federal information minister Pervaiz Rasheed said that the government never hesitated to set up the judicial commission rather Imran Khan is reluctant to constitute it.

The information minister urged the PTI chairman to speak the truth and stop misleading masses.
