PTI has officially stated that on March 30, it will organize a “power show” in Islamabad to protest “rigging” of the general elections on February 8 and manipulation of poll results afterward.

According to the Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), the Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and the Pakistan Peoples Party (PPP) benefited from the election results that were altered in Form 47s by the ruling party, who they said had stolen the electoral mandate.

Chief Minister of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Ali Amin,Gandapur made the following accusations against the government of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif: “The incumbent government at the Centre has been formed after stealing PTI’s 180 seats.”

The PTI core committee meeting today resulted in a statement from the party announcing that they will commemorate Pakistan Day with patriotic fervor and devotion. Tomorrow, on Saturday, is Pakistan Day, and the country is celebrating by renewing its commitment to work hard for the development and stability of the nation.

The PTI had already asked the Islamabad Deputy Commissioner’s Office for permission to hold a nonviolent public demonstration in the nation’s capital later this month. 

As the city administration failed to react to the previous ruling party’s plea, the party filed the Islamabad High Court (IHC) to request permission for the protest in the federal capital. According to the article, on the auspicious day, the previous ruling party planned to hold a “peaceful protest” demonstration.

On the penultimate day of this month, however, the previous ruling party made the decision to hold a protest march in the federal capital against the election manipulation.

The Khan-founded party will host a press briefing on March 25 to discuss the International Monetary Fund (IMF) package and its alleged detrimental effects on the economy and general public before the public rally in Islamabad. 

It is important to note that the cash-strapped Pakistan’s standby $3 billion arrangement with the international lender expires on April 11 and that earlier this week, the two sides came to an agreement at the staff level about the disbursal of the final tranche of $1.1 billion.

Finance Minister Muhammad Aurangzeb announced earlier today that Pakistan will meet with the IMF in Washington next month to discuss an Extended Fund Facility (EFF) as the nation seeks to mitigate a severe economic crisis. Pakistan has been recommended by the fund to enhance its revenue generation.

Furthermore, on April 21, the ex-ruling party would host a public rally in Karachi.

The PTI also restated its call for a thorough inquiry into the alleged “worst rigging” of the elections.

The discussion also covered Senate elections, Asad Majeed, Pakistan’s former ambassador, and his response to the statement released by US Assistant Secretary of State Donald Lu.
