Imran Khan claimed that the electoral body was delaying the financing of a Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) and Pakistan Peoples Party during the exclusive interview with a private TV channel yesterday (PPP).
He declared, “We will file a complaint with the Supreme Judicial Council of Pakistan against by the Election Commissioner since he insulted us by referring to us as being foreign-funded.
We’ll also hold a nonviolent demonstration outside of the Election Commission’s offices.
He was clear: “We’re not going to Redzone.”
