Summary The PTI chief says the objective of the protest is strengthening democratic process in the country.

ISLAMABAD (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chief Imran Khan has said there is no real but an artificial democracy in the country.

A meeting of PTI’s core committee held at Bani Gala on Tuesday.

The core committee gave approval of launching a movement against the present electoral system from May 11 and finalised suggestions about arrangements of sit-in at Islamabad’s D-Chowk.

Talking to media after the meeting, Imran Khan said that PTI does not want to derail the democratic system but it wants justice.

He said the PTI moved Supreme Court, Election Commission, election tribunal but saw no progress against polls rigging.

The PTI chief said it was beyond understanding why thumb verification process had not been carried out in the four constituencies.

Criticizing PML-N and PPP, PTI’s senior leader Shah Mehmood Qureshi said the two mainstream parties of the country have a secret deal to maintain a status quo.

He said that PTI has decided to demonstrate its mass power at D-Chowk on May 11 and the federal will be responsible for any mishap if it tries to create any hurdle in the protest.
