Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan has stressed upon the need for understanding between institutions, adding that he doesn?t believe in politics of confrontation between the military and the civilian government.
?
Speaking to journalists in Islamabad, the former cricketer asked the Election Commission of Pakistan (ECP) to deploy soldiers inside polling stations in sensitive areas to ensure transparency in the upcoming general elections.
?
It is vital to mention here that the demand comes at a time when Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Justice (Retd) Fakhruddin G Ebrahim has already expressed his willingness to deploy the military in ?sensitive? polling stations.
?
He also stated that he will forward his suggestion to the CEC at a meeting likely to be held next month. He also stressed upon the need for early finalization of electoral rolls.
?
The former cricketing captain said nobody had formally contacted him regarding the interim set up. In his view, an independent interim setup can ensure fair elections in Pakistan.? He also stressed upon the need of an impartial caretaker prime minister.
?
About the party?s intra-elections, Imran hoped the polls will conclude by January 15 next year. He said his party will never opt for a political alliance with the two traditional parties ?Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz and Pakistan Peoples? Party, which according to him are supporting each other to prolong their traditional struggle for power.
?
?PTI is yet to decide on seat adjustments with any political party,? Imran said. Misdirected seat adjustments could lead towards the party?s failure in the upcoming polls, he said. If his party failed, it will be his fault for choosing the wrong candidates, he added.
?
He observed, ?Selection of the right candidates will pave the way for PTI?s success in the general elections.? Imran maintained external elements were behind the current unrest in Balochistan.
?
?If the PTI comes to power, it will try to resolve the issue of Balochistan by inviting all the sardars to the negotiating table.? The party will revamp the police force, which would operate sans political pressure, he added.
