ISLAMABAD: Pakistan’s jailed former PM Imran Khan has sought high treason proceedings against officials who allegedly stole his party’s mandate in the February general elections and allowed the rival PML-N and the PPP to form a coalition government.
Khan’s remarks came as he spoke to reporters on Saturday after the hearing of the Al-Qadir Trust corruption case in which his wife Bushra Bibi, aide Farah Gogi and property tycoon Malik Riaz are also implicated.
The February 8 elections in Pakistan were marred by the allegations of vote rigging. Though more than 90 independent candidates backed by Imran’s Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) won the maximum number of seats in the National Assembly, Nawaz Sharif-led PML-N and former foreign minister Bilawal Bhutto-led PPP struck a post-poll deal and formed a coalition government in the country.
