Pervaiz Khattak sees election in February

Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf-Parliamentarians (PTI-P) Chairman Pervaiz Khattak has said the general elections will be held in February, 24NewsHD TV channel reported on Saturday.

 “I think the general elections will be held in February next year. If people approach the court, the polls will be delayed further,” he said while talking to the media person in Peshawar.

Flanked by PTI-P Vice Chairman Mehmood Khan, the former defence minister listed his government feats.

“We introduced reforms and Mehmood Khan played a pivotal role. We completed projects like Billion Tree Tsunami and BRT despite criticism,” he said

 In the three-and-a-half-year rule of Imran Khan, no KP-like reforms were brought in Punjab, he maintained.

Khattak said NAB called him to ‘discuss technical matters’. He said four cases against Imran Khan –Toshakhana, cypher, 190m pound and May 9 riots – are worrisome. It seems that PTI will be declared a criminal party and it will be banned, he said.

The ex-minister claimed that 60 per cent of PTI MNAs and MPAs were his induction.

He said the manifesto of the party is in the final stage and will not be too long.

All political parties let the military intervene in politics, he said, adding that his ties with the military are good as he was defence minister/
