PESHAWAR, Apr 26 (APP): Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) Chairman Imran Khan Tuesday underlined the need for further strengthening state institutions and upholding the people’s rights.<\/p>\n
He said the PTI would continue its peaceful struggle for democracy and weeding out the menace of corruption.<\/p>\n
Addressing party workers here, the former prime minister said strong institutions and respecting the people\u2019s mandate would guarantee a stable and prosperous Pakistan.<\/p>\n
He said sustainable economic progress and prosperity in the country could not be achieved without a genuine democracy enjoying the masses\u2019 support. Early elections were the panacea of all problems, he added.<\/p>\n
Imran Khan claimed that the PTI had succeeded in steering the country out of the financial crisis after coming into power in 2018 and put the economy back on track. Its government had broadened tax net and kept prices of petroleum products under control despite international economic recessions in the wake of coronavirus pandemic, he added.<\/p>\n
The PTI chief said his government launched crackdowns against the sugar mafia and provided much relief to poor farmers, resulting in record increase in the production of wheat, maize, rice, sugarcane and other crops last year.<\/p>\n
He called for appointment of new Chief Election Commissioner and hearing of the foreign funding cases of all political parties.<\/p>\n
He said his party would continue the peaceful political struggle for socio-economic empowerment of the masses, and not make any compromise on the country’s integrity, sovereignty and interests.<\/p>\n
He urged the party workers to get ready for a long march.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
