Establishment hasn’t learnt from past, political engineering still under way: Imran

PTI Chairman Imran Khan said on Sunday that the establishment had not learned from past mistakes as “political engineering” was still underway in the country.

Addressing a women workers convention in Karachi via video link, Imran reiterated that the PTI desired free and fair elections. Once that happens, a new government will come if political engineering is not carried out, he said.

“I fear that unfortunately, our establishment has not learnt from the past. Today, we are seeing political engineering being carried out,” he said as he pointed to the rumoured merger of the Muttahida Qaumi Movement’s factions and Balochistan Awami Party members joining the PPP.

Imran alleged that similar efforts were afoot to bring the PML-N into power in Punjab while a “different game” was being played in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa“ — all in an effort to weaken the PTI.

Imran further said that a “weak setup” introduced through political engineering would not be able to steer the country out of the current crisis. He echoed the same sentiments about a supposed technocratic government as well.

He said that a new government, with a public mandate of five years and which would be able to take “revolutionary measures”, was the only solution for the country’s woes.

“We want to bring about a peaceful revolution through the ballot box,” he said, adding that Pakistan’s crisis would soon go beyond the situation in Sri Lanka, which is witnessing an economic crisis.
