Do you know what you are talking about? Please don’t present your lack of information as truth. Little knowledge is very dangerous. So far, they have opened up 11 constituencies (correct me if I’m wrong) where bogus votes are being counted in tens of thousands. I suggest you do a little research on all investigated constituencies and find out what vote rigging and bogus votes really look like. I’ll give you a little example to start you off, below the is the result from only preliminary investigation of NA-118:

I hope you know that PTI candidates have also been de-seated according to investigation results. If Imran is asking for a re-poll, don’t you think he doesn’t know that many black sheep within his party would also lose their seats? After all, 418 anti rigging cases have been filed by all political parties. It’s about setting a right precedent to establish a correct system. Once re-polling (be it local or national) becomes the next step in case of legally verified rigging, many status quo and criminal politicians would think twice before rigging people’s votes after knowing the imminent possibility of re-polling which would not just result in losing of seat, but a complete cancelling of their political licence.

If the decision rests with the courts, then why is PMLN’s giving Imran the guarantee that they will now open 10 consistencies for him? If they have won fair and square then what are they afraid of? Why didn’t they prove Imran Khan wrong and damaged his credibility by opening up those four constituencies, assuming they have nothing to hide? This simple gesture of opening four constituencies and subsequent positive findings would’ve regained people’s trust in the system, present day democracy and reinforced the legitimacy of Nawas government. But as they say, a lie has no legs.

That’s irrelevant. The fight is against rigging and for free and fair elections. Not to win a majority or earn premiership.

Just because some polls predicted NS win, doesn’t mean PTI has no right to speak up against rigging.

True. But you can certainly demand mid term polls if you can prove that the government enjoys a stolen mandate, hence illegal. More power to PTI if they can prove this.

You are still struggling, are you? This is what I mean that Imran has successfully and commendably turned an empty rhetoric into a fierce ideological battle. Either people are rising up and taking a ‘never again’ attitude to rigging, and striving for direct solution or there are people sitting on the fence or sitting with the devil, doing everything possible to trivialize rigging - the biggest crime you against democracy and complete abuse of the rights of enfranchised citizens - all in the name of democracy. I can’t look past this painful hypocrisy.

No, the ultimate battle is against rigging, dynastic nepotism, bad governance, civil dictatorship, abuse of institutions. All these factors get lum put together to highlight what happens when people don’t stand up for their rights and fight for true democracy.

For argument sake lets say that all the votes that are not verified are not due to a clerical error, and all those votes have been cast in favour of PML N and none has been cast for PTI. I have 2 questions. First would be votes that are not verified, if they are removed, would they have changed the outcome of the constituency or would the outcome have still remained the same. . Secondly if yes the outcome would have changed, then why not have a by-election in those particular constituencies.

Your liking or disliking of the government is irrelevant if they have won and been sworn into power, and still enjoy the confidence of the house then they are entitled to see their term through. Just as you are vocal for PTI others are equally vocal for PML N. You cannot keep asking for re-elections until you get elected. PTI has been elected in KP but I have not seen anything revolutionary there. Imran Khan has sold his soul to the devil for power. I question the wisdom of having power at the expense of losing yourself and your ideals. The consitution is clear, the law is clear, Imran Khan has lost the moral high ground by asking for mid term polls. Why is the focus not on vote rigging by MQM? because it would not make Imran Khan the PM, only by dislodging the PML N unconstitutionally can Imran Khan hope to become Prime Minister.

Why is he saying that he trusts the Chief Justice of Pakistan and then says the Prime MInister must resign before he trusts the Chief Justice after Nawaz Sharif agrees for commission formed by Chief Justice of Pakistan to investigate the matter.

Lets see if Imran Khan can bring the 1 million people that he has promised or would he start giving lame excuses if he fails to deliver. Lets see if this is just a media circus or if 1 million people will come onto the streets of Islamabad.

Imran Khan has joined hands with a anarchist that advocates violence to achieve his ends and does not believe in the constitution of Pakistan. He does not believe in Parliament, who has never had more than one seat in Parliament.

Also talking about Parliament Imran Khan wants to go from ever having had one seat to being the Prime Minister of Pakistan. How many times has he actually even attended Parliament? It seems that it is beneath Imran Khan to attend Parliament and to represent his electorate.
