PTI leader Sher Afzal Marwat said on Monday that the PTI could not be deprived of the mandate the people of Pakistan had given to it, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.
Speaking to the media at the premises of the Islamabad High Court (IHC), he demanded the constitution of a full bench to hear the elections’ rigging case. “If the PTI is deprived of the mandate, people will lose trust in democracy and elections,” he opined.
Marwat said some men, wearing the CTD uniform, came in four vehicles to raid his home. “They were not only the CTD personnel, but also those of intelligence agencies,” the PTI leader said, adding, “They took away my servant, a laptop, and also damaged items in my house.”
“Why they came to my home, I have no idea. But they breached my family’s privacy,” he deplored.
He further said that he held Islamabad IGP, SSP Operations, and SSP CTD responsible for that.
Calling PML-N leaders mentally deranged, Marwat said that despite the fact that the PML-N had won just 17 seats, still, its leaders were so shameless that they were going to form a government.
Praising the ex-Rawalpindi commissioner for making revelations about rigging in the general elections, the PTI leader called him a ‘warrior’ who had fired the first bullet. “There is no doubt left now that 13 National Assembly seats in Rawalpindi division were given to the PML-N.”
The ex-commissioner, he went on to say, was right when he had said he had stabbed in the nation’s back.
On PML-N’s Maryam Aurangzeb’s statement in which she had said that the PTI leaders should have been beheaded in 2014, Marwat said that the party would meet today to discuss her statement. “And hopefully we will file a criminal case against her,” he concluded.
