RAHIM YAR KHAN (Dunya News) – Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) chairman Imran Khan on Sunday withdrew his demand of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif’s resignation while putting forth a fresh demand to form an inquiry commission comprising members of judiciary and spy agencies Military Intelligence (MI) and Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI), Dunya News reported.
Addressing the rally in Rahim Yar Khan, PTI chairman demanded that the commission be made by November 30 and that the commission should complete its investigation of the alleged rigging in general elections 2013 in four to six weeks.
He said Nawaz Sharif can remain Prime Minister during this time while the sit-in will also continue. However, he said, Prime Minister must resign if the commission proves rigging.
