ISLAMABAD: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman, Imran Khan on Sunday said, that Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif can try whatever tactics he wants, PTI will win the election in Kashmir as well as the next general elections.

Speaking to journalists after announcing the inclusion of Kashmiri politicians into PTI, Imran Khan said that a dictator held local government elections in Pakistan but a democratic civilian government has avoided doing the same.

Khan added that both major political parties of the country – PPP and PMLN – have opposed holding local government elections and have refused to devolve power to the people while the PTI is reintroducing the local government system in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Imran Khan alleged that Nawaz Sharif has appointed his own ‘umpire’ for elections in Gilgit Baltistan, but added in a challenging tone, that Nawaz Sharif can try what he will; the PTI will win the elections.

Speaking on the occasion, PTI’s president for Azad Kashmir, Barrister Sultan Mehmood announced that over 50 politicians from Azad Kashmir are joining PTI. He added that these politicians were earlier part of the PMLN, the PPP and the PMLQ. Barrister Sultan added, that the government is trying to postpone local bodies elections in Mirpur because they are afraid PTI will win.
